Have you ever reached a high level in Starsector and decided you want to try something new, but don't want to spend the time and effort required to grind up a new character? Then this mod might be for you. It allows you to keep your current level, but resets all skills and attributes to 0 and refunds the points you spent on them - for a price, of course.
Using this mod:To respec your character you need to find and buy the 'ThinkTank' item, found in any station that acts as a store. The price of a respec is a number of credits equal to 1/5 the experience required for your current level. This cost does not increase past level 60 (5,913,450 credits). Respeccing can't remove any skills or aptitudes added by mods at this time.
This mod will automatically activate itself when you start a new game or load an old one, and can be safely untagged in the launcher without preventing you from loading your saves.
