Framework mod for Starfield that integrates new weapons into SE-CQE and rebalances full suits. It removes NG+ upgrade paths, adds Legendary Slot 4, introduces Caelumite costs for levels 15–20, and sets armor scaling at +48 per quality level up to +912. Adds upgrade slots like Ballistic Shielding and Oxygen Reserve. Aimed at SE-CQE users and modders in the VOSTOK-I collection.

✨ Key Features

Removes other quality upgrade systems such as NG+ upgrades.
Adds Legendary Slot 4 and Stat Upgrades to gear.
Changes upgrade costs from level 15 to 20 to require Caelumite, with doubled X-Tech components.
Adds Leveled Item Lists for Armor quality levels 1–14 (from version 1.1.0).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Last updated August 2026 — active development.
  • Spells out exact armor scaling (+48 per level up to +912), so no guesswork.
  • Includes quality-of-life upgrades like +10% oxygen capacity and enemy detection range.

⚠️ Cons

  • Small install base (10 endorsements, 373 downloads) — early adoption.
  • Built as a framework for SE-CQE, so it's only useful if you already run that mod.
  • No install instructions or load order notes in the description.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Starfield players already using SE-CQE who want new weapon integration and rebalanced full-suit armor. Modders adding custom weapons will find the framework useful. Skip if you're not invested in the SE-CQE ecosystem — this isn't a standalone weapon pack.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install SE-CQE first and ensure this framework loads after it to avoid overwritten changes.
  • If you're using Vortex or MO2, deploy and check for conflicts with other mods that alter quality upgrades or NG+.
  • Download the optional clothing compatibility patch if you want quality scaling on outfits, not just full suits.
