Will this impact performance? Maybe a bit yes some M-class ships just have more parts attached, but I'll introduced more logic control into the SQ_TrafficManagerScript, to balance out the spawning of M-class ships.

These ships act like the other traffic do, move from few points then leave the area once they leave they're deleted.

Is this incompatible with X ?

I didn't edit any level lists or forms list, so the chance is low, but if it changes the TrafficManagersetting object within a planets orbit then yes.

Can I board any of the capital ships? Yes, 95% of them can be.

Does this add enemy Capital ships? Yeppers, I'll enabled the random chance of an Enemy Capital Ship spawning within a planets orbit. (If you're out matched warp away :p, the capital ships have shields good luck)

Does this require any other mods?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check the mod's page for any required game version or load order notes, as the description is sparse.
  • If you use a mod manager, install via that for easy uninstallation; otherwise, manually place files in your Data folder.
  • Since it's a cosmetic mod, it should be safe to add mid-playthrough, but always test after installing.
