Royal Space Magic - Starborn Powers Overhaul

Royal Space Magic:

A simple overhaul to make Starborn Powers more fun and balanced.

The Player and NPC Starborn Powers Overhaul Included in:

Royal Galaxy - A Compatible Starfield Revamp - Series One

This is meant to be a simple, lightweight overhaul that is objectively more fun than Vanilla.

I will continue to experiment and add new features over time, but at its core, there will always be a version that is essentially

If you want to go full on magic mode, add: CCR - Better Starborn Power Bar

I also playtested on a keyboard and mouse playthrough where each ability was on a separate key binding. In this situation, weaker offensive abilities can be used as a finisher, saving Starpower or ammunition.

Offensive, Lite: Low Damage, Low Cost:

Damaging: Particle Beam,
