Darkstar -Lights-

This livery is reconstructed from data Neucom analysts extracted from the memories of a UPEO ace pilot who once flew for the mysterious Darkness of Enigma program. The pilot's stolen X-49 Night Raven crashed ashore after a missile strike from an unmanned allied aircraft guided by a Neucom AI program dubbed as Project Nemo. Whether the missile was fired intentionally remains unproven, but leaks within Neucom’s lower chain of command pointed to activation of an ONSI failsafe that triggered a full data transfer prior to the shootdown. The ONSI failsafe is an elaborate, crash-log esque system that withdrew everything in her memory that was accessible by her Opto-Neuron implant. The implant couldn't withdraw enough information to make an accurate reconstruction of this livery, which gave way to its unique, esoteric appearance.

This mod covers the following skin slots,

- General Resource Ltd. Defence Force "Lights" - Replaces Mage slot through Strider slot (4-6). Sadly, does not support Additional Skin Support.

How do I install a skin mod that uses Material Instances?

- Create a folder called "~mods" inside "\ACE COMBAT 7\Game\Content\Paks" - This is where the game stores its data.

- Extract the Base Texture file into the "~mods" folder, and pick the skin slots you want to override with this mod. You can increase the mod's load priority by adding more tildes into their names.

Heartfelt thanks towards;

SkyesModdingShenanigans - For coming up with the initial concept of the livery at a moment where I was facing a drought of ideas.

Codename VANILLA - This was the simplest UV layout I've ever seen in this game, and it was an absolute pleasure to work on this livery. Cheers to everyone that works on this project.

*This is just my silly headcanon to integrate the Darkstar into the franchise.
