Aurie's Skill Tweaks

Introduction

I've been using these skill changes forever and as I'm going through my load order and making sure my mods still work, I figured I'd go ahead and upload it for others in case they might like to use it. Some might call them tweaks, others might say they are cheats, but I say it's a huge QoL improvement.

At game start the player has the following abilities:

• []Use boost packs (I role play as someone in my 30s with a military background. You're telling me I haven't learned how to use boost packs yet?)

  []Stealth meter (Just a QoL thing to be able to see if you're in danger or not)

  []Pick Pocket (Anyone can Pick Pocket, yes?)

  []8 crew members (Anyone can hire as many folks as they want without any type of training, right?)

  Skill modifications:

  • []Any skill can be taken at any time. No need to waste points on skills you don't want or need.

    []Challenge repetitions reduced by 50%.

    []Stealth - Remains the same so the stealth meter will not be not upgraded until rank 2 even though it is added at game start.

    []Concealment - Challenge now uses any stealth kill (doesn't have to melee or unarmed).

    []Theft - Instead of granting the ability to pick pocket at rank 1, it gives a 5% greater chance to succeed. The rest of the ranks are the same as vanilla.

    []Boost Pack Training - Since the ability to use boost packs is given at game start, the first rank of boost pack training now decreases how much fuel is expended by 5%. The other ranks remain the same as vanilla.

    []Piloting - Can pilot Class B ships at rank 1 and Class C ships at rank 2. Rank 3 & 4 further increase turning rate and maneuverability beyond vanilla levels.

    []Ship Command - Will add additional crew slots beyond the initial 8 (will eventually change the text to reflect the correct amount but just forgot to as I normally don't worry about taking it).
