✨ Key Features
📊 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.
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.
💡 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.
