Serenity of Stars - Gameplay Overhaul

Shattered Space is required. Please use on a new game.

This mod overhauls many aspects of Starfield, with the main focus being the combat.

It introduces an unleveled world, an ammo system like the one in Fallout: New Vegas, legendary attachments with better stats, remade legendary system with more grounded effects, a system to switch firing modes, muzzle and scope attachments without the need of a workbench. Detailed changes are as follows:

Combat:

General:

[]Enemies, loot and ship parts are no longer tied to player's level, including rewards.

[]HP bonus from leveling up is reduced to 1.

[]Enemy humans' health values are also adjusted accordingly. Most of the time, level + 100 = HP. Starborn enemies have the same amount of max HP the player can have, that is around 240 not counting clothing bonuses. Legendary enemies will also play by the same rule, no more extra health and damage for them.

[]Enemies give a fixed amount of XP regardless of their level, varying by type. For example, spacers are worth 20 xp while va'ruun are 40 xp. Copied from Ascension and made some minor adjustments.

[]Human NPCs will only have their armor, no more additional resistances based on their level.

[]Fights are a lot more deadly but fair in my opinion. A headshot with a high damage weapon (such as razorback or hard target) is usually an instant kill. Headshots deal x5, body shots x1, limb and pack x0. 5. I tested this extensively and these numbers provide the most fun combat for me. It can take a full mag to kill an enemy with body and limb shots or it can take just one or two headshots.

[]Enemies can have proper loadouts, a primary, a secondary and a melee weapon. Weapons are based on factions, such as crimson fleet usually having maelstrom as primary and kraken as secondary.

[]Not every enemy will have a full loadout. A spacer or pirate will be less likely to spawn with a full loadout, but ecliptic or va'ruun will usually have a primary, secondary and melee weapon. It is possible for a spacer or a pirate to spawn with just a pistol, just like in the base game.

[]Enemies will use the ammunition in their inventory. They are given a random amount of ammo for each weapon when they spawn, about 3-4 mags.

[]Still, there will be no melee only enemies. They will have at least a pistol or a rifle. However, they will still charge at you with their melee weapons or fists if the fight drags out and they run out of ammo for their weapons.

[]Companion weapons that they spawn with does not consume ammo as it would be too tedious to keep them stocked.

[]Increased AI detection range so that they will not sit idle while you are fighting their buddies on the other side of the room.

[*]Robots and big wildlife are harde
