📋 About This Mod
Fast Start a new game as a Crimson rook in a Ghost ship at the Key in 60 seconds to roll different. ZERO SCRIPT HACKS for a stable conflict free game base.
With the mod loaded any new games, including NG+, will automatically start as a Crimson Priate at the Key. You can do all the regular quests again or create your own narratives in an Open World Universe, starting:
> With a level 1 Crimson Pirate loadout.
> In a Crimson Ghost homeship outside the Key Station (Kryx system).
> The Key is unlocked (ho ho) with all services available.
> Crimson joining quest CF01 Deep Cover completed (no Exp is awarded).
> Crimson joining quest CF02 Rook meets King completed (no Exp is awarded).
> Crimson faction quest CF03 Echos of the Past is ready to go.
> Sysdef choice [ Never ! ] makes Sysdef hostile.
> Sysdef choice [ Maybe ... ] starts CFSD01 Burden of Proof.
The Free Lanes update Cruise Mode is enabled without completing the One Small Step quest for any new or existing game.
The Shattered Space DLC01 quests will not start until you complete MQ101 "One Small Step".
=================
Factions and Quests
Apart from completing the listed Crimson join quests this does not affect, trigger or touch any other base game quests, dialog or faction relations. It is by design a FAST START not an ALT start soluton, so you can use mods that do hack base game content on top without conflicting with this. Probably.
As in the base game, being a member of the criminal CrimsonFleet faction does not actually switch any faction friends or enemies EXCEPT Sysdef if you select the option to bail on them. To spice that up a related "white hats vs black hats" univeral faction war is in development, although right now all it does is generate a crap-tonne of corpses and totally destroy most base game quests when the player turns up.

Editing the Loadout and Ship
If the loadout does not meet your exacting needs and you know how to use xEdit to edit forms, have at it. Understand that this page can not teach you basic xEdit skills no matter how desperate you are for a custom loadout. Youtube tutorials ?
FormIDList SKK_CSNGLoadout01Crimson contains the player loadout which can be edited with any ARMO Armor, WEAP Weapons, LVLI Levelist and OTFT Outfit forms. There is no fallback if you incldue bad records except a naked toon.
ARMO is added and equipped.
WEAP are added and equipped with 32 to 64 units of the correct ammo
