📋 About This Mod

Known issues-There is a minor conflict with my mod and Apogee that can cause ships to not fly, but if you place my mod before/higher in your load order than Apogee, it should be avoided without any issues.  When updating from one version to another, it is important to be safe with your files, either wait for Unity to update the mod, start a new game, or at the very least, remove all active mod assets from your current game prior to updating(this means no MA parts on your ships prior to updating)

Matilija's Aerospace is a new ship manufacturer, inspired by the engineering brilliance of the likes of Derek of DerreTech, and LJTiger of Tiger Shipyards, after a brief stint trying to keep DerreTech afloat during it's owner's mysterious disappearance, now that Derek has returned, Matilija has set off on his own to start his own ship manufacturing company, hoping to offer the masses more options for their Spacecraft needs.

Matilija's Aerospace aims to provide its customers with peace of mind by providing the most advanced means of Protection and Firepower that any respective ship owner could desire.

Modules on offer include

Cockpits initially designed by DerreTech, but re-engineered and outfitted to increase protection for crews during hostile encounters.

Stairwells initially designed by DerreTech, but re-designed to better facilitate internal ship navigation.(Please stop asking me to make more stairs)

Reactor Habs initially designed by DerreTech, but re-engineered to provide both maximum power generation and maximum protection during any potential hostile ship encounters.

V-Habs similar to DerreTech's Y-Sym, but designed to interlock when facing reverse directions parallel to eachother to provide a relatively seamless exterior look. 

Observation Platforms similar to the original DerreTech observation decks, but with different design philosophies, and improved lighting.  Space is beautiful, and here at Matilija's Aerospace, we want you to have a Grand View of it!

Engines initially designed by DerreTech, but re-engineered to be better protected from hostile fire and to provide the maximum amount of thrust for any prospective cargo hauler or cruiser in the Settled Systems.
