(Simplified) Sentinel Starship Fabricator

Description

This mod allows players to synthesize an Interceptor-type starship using the space stations' fabricator machines added with Orbitals update.

A couple important disclaimers:

DISCLAIMER 1

This mod offers only a very simplified assembly procedure for the Interceptor starships. Lots of liberties were taken, lots of corners were cut, lots of parts / nodes were purposefully omitted to get this functionality to the current state. If you are looking for a proper recreation of Sentinel ship spawning algorithm used by the game, use Mjstral's customizer bot and ship delivery services instead.

DISCLAIMER 2

This mod makes use of the shuttle assembly functionality which was originally prepared by HG and disabled from actual gameplay. This mod enables this functionality back and makes extensive changes to it in order to fit even simplified Interceptor starship synthesis. It's far from perfect, there are still some issues that can not be addressed properly!

DISCLAIMER 3

This mod is not compatible with any other mod that adds new ship types to the starship fabricator, such as my previous Exotic Starship Fabricator mod or ThatBomberBoi's mods for shuttles and solar starships  - all of these mods are affecting the only free assembly functionality we have and there is no way to get these mods working together!

DISCLAIMER 4

For any question like "do other players see my assembled Interceptor ship?" or "does the Interceptor keep its appearance once the mod is removed?", assume the answer is NO.

DISCLAIMER 5

Version 6. 45. 1 brings some technical changes in form of moving specific mod files to EXML patch format to improve compatibility with other mods and future game updates. Because of this, it's highly recommended to manually remove the previous version of the mod before installing the new version to prevent conflicts between the old MBIN files and new EXML files provided by this mod.
