Young Gun gamestart with Improved Buzzard and Improved Falx

OK, but why another game start?

Well, I often need to start a fresh game in order to test out mods and ideas. The stock Young Gun game start provided by Egosoft worked OK for this, but frankly the starting ship was pretty useless.

Step 1: I had always admired the looks of the Teladi Buzzard (sort of “Industrial Chic”), but flying around in it was like driving a tank...a really slow tank. After a bit of thought, I decided to add a new 'Improved' variant of the venerable Teladi Buzzard heavy fighter...one with much-improved performance.

Step 2: Since I never much cared for the"Super Highways" that were introduced with the X4 series, I also decided to remove them. It's a personal preference...there is no "right or wrong…it’s your game, so play it however you like! However, one thing I did like about the superhighways was the ability “hop on” to the ring early in the game and quickly expose a bunch of useful sectors. So instead of the limited number of sectors exposed in the stock Young Gun start, the full “sector ring” is now exposed.

Step 3: After way too many restarts of X4 Foundations, I found myself less than thrilled with the anemic 'reward' ships you received for rescuing Boso Ta. No disrespect to the Osprey, Cerberus or Gorgon, but I wanted something with faster, with a bit more 'punch'. So I created an 'Improved' variant of the Terran Falx Frigate as a replacement reward ship.

So, to begin...

You are Skippa Da'lizard IX, a clever, inquisitive Teladi...with occasional anger-management issues. You own a very fast and a well-equipped Teladi Improved Buzzard. As per the stock Young Gun start, you begin in the hanger of the Argon Equipment Dock in Black Hole Sun IV. The Superhighways have been removed, and instead all the original 'ring sectors' that the superhighways had passed through are now exposed. The Faction reputations are as per the stock Young Gun start. As a bonus, you also get the spacesuit upgrades, because...
