Shut Up Cora - Less Chatter While Flying

As of December 3rd, 2024, I no longer have plans to actively mod Starfield.
This mod is unlikely to receive further updates.
Bethesda has recently allowed paid mods to be tagged as Achievement Friendly on the Creations platform, with no plans to make accommodations for free mods. They are also allowing mod authors to re-upload free mods as paid mods to get the Achievement Friendly tag, at the request of console mod users.
This effectively disincentivizes free mods from being published, as it will push console users to stick with purely paid load orders in order to continue earning achievements. This was the final nail in the coffin for my interest in Starfield, and I no longer wish to support the money-first modding ecosystem that Bethesda is attempting to create.
Thank you to everyone who has used my work. I am happy to have been able to share things which have improved the game for so many people.
This mod does the following things: • Silences Cora and Sam's conversations while you are piloting your ship. • Silences conversations between the Constellation companions while you are piloting your ship. • Silences crew/companion/passenger "hello" and "idle" lines while you are piloting your ship. • Restores a couple of cut lines to Cora and Sam's "Dad, can I have a pet?" conversation, because why not. It makes more sense with those lines, and I'm already editing that data record anyway.
This does not disable any of these lines from playing while you are not piloting your ship, so you are not missing out on any content. It also does not prevent any other lines from playing, such as your crew calling things out in combat.
Ongoing conversations will immediately end if you sit in your pilot seat, preventing them from ever being able to play over the intercom.
Installing
Can be installed mid-save and should work immediately. No special steps required.
Uninstalling
Can be removed at any time, doesn't matter. No scripts, so it's completely safe. You will immediately see vanilla behavior again upon loading a save which previously had this mod.
Compatibility
Modifies CNDF records related to companion and crew "hello" lines, and the SCEN records related to all 39 ambient conversations between Constellation members. No actual dialogue records are touched, so it should be compatible with any language version of the game.
Known Issues
Nothing. “It just works!”
Release notes
Xbox
-
2.1.0Random conversations between Constellation companions are now also silenced while you are flying.
Improved the checks for silencing dialogue. This mod now checks to see if you are in the pilot seat of any ship, rather than checking to see if any actor is in your home ship's pilot seat. Doesn't currently make a big difference in practice, but could matter in the future with mods and/or new official features. -
2.0.0Initial bethesda.net release.

Various improvements to how followers behave while following you around.

Tweaks the conditions for when your spacesuit is automatically hidden, and better synchronizes your follower's suit behavior with your own.

Makes the Chronomark watch visible on your left wrist, as it always should have been. Also equips the watch on other specific members of Constellation.

Turns Gravity Wave into a proper “force push” power, using ragdoll physics instead of the vanilla knockdown animations. Designed to be fair and balanced.
