The Slayton Solution - A short quest to unlock the SAL-6830 and Naeva's Outfit

Version 3 is the result of me tweaking this more while I was checking everything still worked for the Free Lanes update.

The quest now has a proper lead-in rather than being unmarked, it will start when you first arrive at the Slayton Aerospace office in Neon. If you had previously discovered the mineral caverns close to The Eleos Retreat, the plot course option on the mission screen will no longer try to plot a course to those instead of to Eleos. Lastly, the ambush should now be a bit more challenging particularly for higher level players.

This should be safe to update whenever, even if the quest is in progress.

DESCRIPTION

This mod adds a short but (I think) immersive way to unlock both the engine and obtain Naeva's outfit. You can still do the quest even if the engine has been unlocked normally in your current game, or you still intend to do so in the future, it will then make it available at one additional location.

Head to the Slayton Aerospace office in Neon to get started.

The only cell edits are in the Slayton office itself, so this should be compatible with all other mods unless they affect Slayton Aerospace.

Also available on Creations for PC, Xbox and PlayStstion.

There's also an optional retexture of Naeva's outfit in files which just removes the Crimson Fleet skulls, as shown in the images here. These are just textures and so are safe to remove at any time. They will affect Naeva herself as well as the outfit obtainable in this mod.

BACKGROUND

The Slayton SAL-6830 is one of the best engines available in the game, and is quest-locked (just like the ComSpike and Conduction Grid). For the SAL-6830 you need to complete the main quest mission "All That Money Can Buy". Naeva Mora is a character in the Crimson Fleet questline with a pretty unique outfit, which is not normally obtainable by the player.

When the game first launched it was not possible to obtain the SAL-6830 without completing "All That Money Can Buy" a specific way, using the non-violent solution. This appears to have been changed at some point by Bethesda, although I have also seen comments that the SAL-6830 is still not available for some people who take the more aggressive option. It's my belief that a role-playing game shouldn't force the player to act in a way that's contrary to their character as the only route to obtaining something of particular note. There should always be an alternative route, to allow people to roleplay their characters and not force them to do something out of character.

Another problem is with New Game plus, if you choose o
