[MOD] Gamestart: The Tired Veteran

[luciphercolors]

Here's a gamestart I created, mostly to serve as an introduction to modding Egosoft games, but also to scratch an itch for a gamestart that I wanted. The inspiration for this came from, "ugh, I really want to start a new game but don't want to do the PHQ quest or grind rep/crystals just to start with a decent ship again." (This mod originally started with a tricked-out Nemesis Vanguard, but in testing it made the game a little too easy. I'm holding on to that idea for a future, more difficult gamestart.)

The Tired Veteran
'Join the Space Force!' they said. 'See the universe!' they said! Well... you did all that. Then the war ended: a cease-fire with the Holy Order, the so-called 'Second Accord of the Sacred Relic.' Rather than stay and fight the Xenon (or those Kha'ak ****), you've decided to take an honorable discharge and spend your accumulated savings on a surplus mil-spec Theseus and a couple of station blueprints. Everyone knows the cease-fire won't last long, but now you're a free agent. What will you do? Where will you go? Who will you kill?

Features

• Shortcut save for players who want to skip research (except final stage of teleportation)
• Starts in Trinity Sanctum VII with an "okay" Theseus Vanguard with SETA, as well as blueprints for Ore Refinery, Silicon Wafer, storage, and some Paranid blocks.
• Paranid relations at +19, but HOP is hostile (-12). While the war might be over, they haven't forgotten...
