📋 About This Mod

This mod was inspired by JJs Bridge and many thanks to JJ for helping me make this mod.

Changes the layout of the freighter bridge to be less like a freighter and more like the galactic starship this should be! Beehive windows, a dual pilot station, automatic bridge doors and a command area for the navigator, the captain and YOU!

NOTE: Due to game limitations, no buildable items can be placed on the bridge.
