📋 About This Mod
This mod enables using Quantum Essence while piloting a ship.
In vanilla, if you enter your Powers menu and try to use Quantum Essence to regen your Starborn power, you only get an annoying message saying you can't do that.
Now you don't see any message, your quantum snack is consumed, and its effect is properly applied.
Thanks to EV4NSY who brought this hilarious behavior to my attention. Why does it exist in the first place? We will never know...
Source of course.
This small gameplay mod for Starfield lets you use Quantum Essence while piloting your ship, removing a frustrating restriction. With 40 endorsements and over 32,000 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life fix for players who rely on the buff during space combat.
