Description

A collection of hard-coded parameter overrides for Starfield's Ship Builder UI to allow construction of ship up to 400m x 400m x 200m with up to 1600 modules.

Also increases the number of ships that a player can own to 50.

This plugin uses hard coded overrides because the internal scripting APIs that the Ship Builder Configurator uses to make these changes dynamically do not work on a PlayStation/XBox platform.

Ship Builder UI

Note that the sizes displayed on the Ship Builder UI floor grid are the distance from the ship's center line. Hence, ships are twice the size that is displayed on the floor grid in the Ship Builder UI.

Advisory

Constructing ships that are larger than the 80mx80mx40m limit found in the base game can cause issues during game play. In some cases, larger ships may experience clipping problems at some landing sites which can make parts of the ship and/or the landing bay inaccessible.

The author has also seen posts on various social media channels where players have reported either performance problems or actual game crashes when constructing very large ships or ships with a very large number of modules. These problems arise because the game engine was designed with the 80mx80mx40m and 130 module limits in mind. Exceeding those limits can cause the game engine to experience problems. Players reporting these issues have indicated that the solution was to rebuild their ship on a more modest scale.

Load Order

If one has multiple mods that try to make hard-coded changes to the ship size limits, the one that appears last in the load order will be the one that determines the ship size limits.

Plugin Removal

This plugin alters a collection of internal game settings that control not only the maximum ship size in the ship builder, but also the maximum size of a land-able ship. If one constructs an over-sized ship and then removes this plugin, the ship will remain usable in space, but one will not be able to land the ship nor modify the ship in the ship builder (without reducing the size of the ship to the standard 80m x 80m x 40m limits).
