Ships with cosmetic Skins. Splendid!
1.10SSS

Adds a handful of lovingly crafted ships, a weapon, as well as few portraits.
DOWNLOAD Nes's SAW
Requires LazyLib
Requires MagicLib

Nes's SAW can be safely added to an existing save.
To install, simply download the .zip file from the link above, unzip it in your Starsector mods directory, and enable it in the launcher.

Ships:


Weapons:

Spoiler

Laevatein Assault Cannon

Large Ballistic
A rotary Mjolnir configuration that puts less strain on the flux grid but loses efficiency against faster targets.

Hellbore alternative look

Essentially a visual update for the vanilla hellbore.
If you prefer vanilla looks simply remove hellbore_ sprites located in graphics/weapons from the mod folder.

[close]

Cosmetic Skins:
Change ship appearance in-game choosing from a variety of unique liveries.

How to: in the refit screen, click to remove the respective hullmod to cycle through available options.
Note that being docked might be necessary for the spacer work crews to repaint your craft.

*Comes around to update mods*
Nooooo!
Ok... Probably for the best. It was a little too powerful in retrospect, especially with the EMP.

Also, as a side note, I love the Hammerfall to bits. It's a salvage gantry that's actually useful in combat, and does mining.
Does it's laser's slowing effect slow it or the target hit? I ask because I've seen weapons do both.
