I want to create a hull mode that reduces the fuel used by small ships. I assume I do that in applyEffectsAfterShipCreation() like many examples I've seen. However, I need a reference to the shipAPI for the ship the mod is going on, right? How do I get that?
Once I have it I think I can use ship.getMutableStats().getFuelUseMod().modifyFlat(id, -1f); to do what I want.

Thanks in advance for any help.

look at other hullmods that do the same thing (esp. in vanilla)

you'll want to extend BaseHullMod, then applyEffectsAfterShipCreation() provides a shipAPI that you can do stat mods to
though you'll probably want to do it in applyEffectsBeforeShipCreation(), then variant.getMutableStats, shipAPIs don't really exist in the campaign layer as far as I know

I usually put my hull mods that affect mutableStats in applyEffectsBeforeShipCreation() and it works fine. I tried putting the one that is conditional on ship size in applyEffectsAfterShipCreation() because it has ShipAPI as  param but it didn't work.
What do you mean by variant.getMutableStats?

Edit
I added this:
public void applyEffectsAfterShipCreation(ShipAPI ship, String id) {
      if (ship.getHullSpec().getHullSize() < HullSize.DESTROYER)
      {
         ship.getMutableStats().getMinCrewMod().modifyMult(id, 0.0f);
         ship.getMutableStats().getSuppliesPerMonth().modifyMult(id, 0.0f);
      }
   }

and I get the error message "Operator '<' not allowed on reference operands."
HULLSIZE is an enum, right? Shouldn't that be the correct format?

Shouldn't that be the correct format?

Negotiating with the compiler on what is or isn't correct is futile. Just rewrite it to a pair of "equals to".

derp, it's been a while since I've worked with hullmods & I thought that they gave a variant instead of a direct mutableStats.

and yeah, you'll just want to do a switch case / check the ordinal values (ShipAPI.HullSize.FRIGATE.ordinal(); for instance) against eachother, you can't directly compare enums like that.
