Updated for NMS Patch 6. 11 (BREACH)

Fully compatible with NMS Patch 6. 11 (BREACH)

Currently waiting for MBINCompiler to be updated for 5. 50 (WORLDS PT. 2)

Modding is changing a lot with this update, please be patient as the new modding structure gets figured out.

Added Vortex FOMOD installer support

Added .lua script for merging - you can define your own pulse speeds by editing the .lua file as well.

Look in the Optional Files section for the .lua script.

Welcome everybody looking for a combined mod for atmosphere hover and pulse speed adjustment.

Reversing option now available.

Please remember to choose only 1 option still - so it's either you want AtmoHover or AtmoReverse.

You can still hover with AtmoReverse, it just takes a slight amount of finesse.

Options are...

■ AtmoHoverOnly (default pulse speed)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x0. 5)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x1. 5)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x2. 0)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x4. 0)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x6. 0)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x8. 0)

■ AtmoHover-PulseSpeed(x10)

Reverse options

■ AtmoReverseOnly (Reverse only - with default pulse speed)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x0. 5)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x1. 5)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x2. 0)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x4. 0)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x6. 0)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x8. 0)

■ AtmoReverse-PulseSpeed(x10)

Please remember to choose only ONE folder option inside the downloaded .zip

TIP: Do not continuously hold the brake/reverse key or button while in the atmosphere or your ship will eventually start moving forward slowly. Just slow down to 0u/s and then let off the brake/reverse.

This tip only applies to the hover version.

  • FOMOD installer makes setup a breeze for Vortex users

⚠️ Cons

  • You must pick only one option from the zip — no combining hover and reverse at different speeds
  • Hover mode requires finesse: holding brake/reverse too long makes your ship creep forward
  • Author notes MBINCompiler isn't updated for 5.50 yet, so future compatibility is uncertain

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • When using hover mode, don't hold the brake/reverse key continuously — slow to 0u/s then release to avoid drifting forward.
  • Use the Vortex FOMOD installer to pick your preferred option during installation; it handles the file placement for you.
  • If you want custom pulse speeds, grab the .lua script from Optional Files and edit it before merging.
