THROWDOWN - Ground Combat Only Patch (v2.6.0 — 176 GMSTs)

Pure Ground Combat & Stealth AI Overhaul — Reverts All 176 Space Combat & Ship Physics Settings to Vanilla

Requested by Slonderlol and players who run dedicated space-combat suites or prefer untouched vanilla spaceflight! This optional pure-GMST override patch reverts all 176 Space Combat & Ship Physics Game Settings (GMSTs) in THROWDOWN: Combat AI Enhancements back to their exact vanilla Starfield.esm values, leaving only Throwdown's 305 Ground Combat & Stealth AI enhancements active.

What This Patch Does

Reverts All 176 Space Combat & Ship Flight GMSTs to Vanilla: Completely restores vanilla Starfield.esm spaceflight physics, ship speeds, boost mechanics, steering, collisions, player/AI ship gunnery, turrets, missiles, shields, subsystem targeting, and AI ship maneuvers—giving you zero GMST overlap with any space combat or ship flight overhaul loaded below it.
Keeps All 305 Throwdown Ground Combat & Stealth Settings Active:
- Uncapped 150-Actor Firefights: Raises active combatant limits from 20 to 150 so entire bases, boarding crews, and alien swarms engage at once.
- No More Dropship or Outpost Camping: Reinforcements pour out of landing bays and hunt you across the terrain (180m+ line-of-sight pursuit, 10,000m zones) and through load doors (up to 20 NPCs breaching doors after you).
- Anti-Cowering, Dynamic Cover & Paired Rushes: Slashes vanilla 75%–100% suppression penalties, increases peeking volleys (3s–12s), shifts cover 35x more often, and triggers two-man Paired Rushes.
- 20-Man Squad Flanking & Relentless Gunplay: Expands flankers from 2 to 20 (180m paths, 3s cooldown), removes 1.5s burst recoil pauses, enables open-ground circle-strafing and 10x rooftop dodge scoring, and speeds up stealth search sweeps by 5x.

Load Order & Compatibility

Place Reaper_Throwdown_GroundCombatOnly.esm AFTER (BELOW) Reaper_Throwdown.esm in your load order.
If you use any third-party space combat or ship flight mods, place them BELOW Reaper_Throwdown_GroundCombatOnly.esm so their space settings take effect with zero interference. Safe to install or remove mid-playthrough!
