Adjustable Fighter Components

This is an update to the Fighters and Components mod, taking it past the 0.23.1 construction update. It doesn't alter much from the original but alot of things have been balance passed and made adjustable.

Fighters are small nimble ships, most of the components here are 1x1 or 1x2 in size. They can take normal power batteries but are best fed from the Fighter Reactors which can power them by proxy, without crew.

1. New group for Fighter Components.
   
2. Career mode tech/blueprint progressions
   
3. Example Fighter Ship library
   
4. Fixed crashing issues from 0.23.1 construction updates
   
5. Reworked, fixed and updated sprites, based on vanilla assets.
   
6. Reworked, balance changes
   
7. 11 new components

• 1x Fighter Cockpit: The heart of any fighter craft. Comes equipped with an airlock, fire extinguisher and crewbed
  
• 1x Fighter Lasers: Small lasers that can target ships and missiles. Do not require crew. Colourable
  
• 3x Fighter Reactors: Compact reactor designs providing crew-less, wired power to other Fighter Components
  
• 1x Fighter Hyperdrive: Miniature hyperdrive for fighter craft, has an installed airlock for Hyperium deliveries
  
• 3x Fighter Thrusters: Adequate thrust for these ships, get a 300% power boost if built nearby to a cockpit
  
• 2x Fighter shields: Two shield designs for small craft. Arc and Radial. Colourable.

All fighter components can take doors if needed, except for the shields.
Due to the wired power though they don't need to have doors, or even crew access.
Fighter Components leave behind either structure or nothing when moved.
Some fighter components have a "max per ship" restriction. Please see screenshots or in-game descriptions.

Please see screenshots for costs.

Should correctly override and replace parts from the original mod.
Can not be used with the original mod.

During building the game will complain that parts do not have Crew and/or Power Access, this can mostly be ignored, due to parts not requiring crew and/or 'conventional crew delivered power' ...
This should be fixed in mod version 1.8

WARNING: DO NOT ASSIGN THE COCKPIT TO ITSELF IN THE CREW/SQUAD MENU. IT WILL BRICK YOUR SAVEFILE ON RELOAD. THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON OR FIX FOR THIS ISSUE
This should be fixed in GameVersion 0.28.0d .. Thanks Devs !!

Can be used with Joemama1512's Expansion for Adjustable Fighters and Components , which adds some pretty cool extra fighter-sized components!

If you are not a fan of the part limit balancing you can remove that restriction with this Adjustable Fighters Unlimited plug-in mod

Added some minimal compatibility with;

Expanded Tech Tree by SirCampalot

• The 1x2 "Fighter Cockpits" from these mods should be able to take Fighter Reactor Power and will count towards the limited number of "Fighter Cockpits" per ship ... but won't have the built-in airlock, fire extinguisher, manoeuvring thrusters, thruster-boost buff or crewbed ... of the "true" Fighter Cockpit. However, I don't change anything else about them and they won't be found under the fighter category either.

There may be other mods with Fighter Cockpits /parts that do not work with this.

If you want your fighters to do clean/up resource collection, I highly recommend the Solo Collector and More Storage Sizes mods

Some screenshots might be outdated due to balance changes.

Many thanks to Tyrosr for the original mod.
Huge appreciation to Swefpifh for his Coloured Laser Bolt mod, which I took some inspiration from.
Shield colours inspired by my Adjustable Shields , Adjustable Ions and the Colourable Parts mod (which is not a requirement!)

Many thanks to the fine people of the Cosmoteer discord for help, advice and guidance!

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea[www.buymeacoffee.com]
