Overview

(Mandalorian-inspired Mantis spacesuit replacer.)

Compatible with Starfield v1. 11. 36+.

I thought the idea of a unique spacesuit was cool, but wasn't overly enamored with the looks of the default Mantis Armor. I also didn't really want to literally have Mandalorian armor. So I compromised, and retextured the Shock Trooper Armor, Starborn Helmet, and Deepseeker Pack instead. This is the result.

Compatibility:

Should be mostly compatible with pretty much everything, even mods that alter the stats of the Mantis spacesuit. With that being said, if another mod alters the file paths of the suit models, that will break this mod.

Known Issues:

- The spacesuit clips a little into the helmet around the neck area.

- Some of the detail textures from the original Mantis spacesuit show up on the replacement suit, resulting in some interesting patterning.

Installation

Archive Invalidation:

Make sure your StarfieldCustom.ini file in the "Documents\My Games\Starfield" folder (or your profile folder if using a mod manager and profiles) contains the following:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

Recommendations:

When upgrading non-major versions (for example v2.something to v2.something-else), you don't need to do anything except replace the installed mod files.

When upgrading major versions (for example v1.whatever to v2.whatever), you need to do a clean install:

- Open the game and load your latest save

- Save your game, then quit

- Uninstall the previous version of the plugin and all its files

- Open the game and load your last save

- You will see a warning about missing the plugin you just uninstalled, cho
