Description
I'm not stopping anytime soon
This "addon" for APIS extends the lovely bee to your MIP interface, giving it a modest recoloration and changing planet descriptions to match the usual dialogue of APIS.
As per a user request, the UI has been slightly adjusted to be less offensively bright
It is (aside from the UI reskin) a "redo" of Prima Space Premium edition. While my previous mod just called you an idiot every 12 seconds, this one has a less insulting tone. A few of the descriptions I thought were genuinely clever or funny remain, with a few minor changes (there is at least one where I just added "bzz" to the end and said that's enough)
Unlike standard APIS, which requires doing stuff to set up properly, APIS Plus only requires you to be subscribed to More Planet Info
I didn't change the MPI descriptions for things (yet) mostly becuase they just spill off the screen anyway so what's really the point.

From a technical standpoint, this mod does not require APIS, but I really don't think it'd make much sense to use this without it. Do whatever you want, I guess.
This mod has a special UI set up for full screen star map, specifically the 1080p version. I do not think good things will come of you using the 1366x768 version with this, but I wouldn't know. And by a special UI I mean I included a modifed PNG so that if you have that mod installed it will give you a honeycombed pattern with a little crosshair in the center so you know where the navigation system is really pointing. Not that anybody needed that but I thought it looked neat. I had a cool background picture in mind but I think it's copyrighted and stuff so you can't have it.
WARNING
To patch a very teeny bug in MPI where it would not display "threat levels" properly if their name included characters like space or symbols, I had to change cockpitview.lua. Any mod that changes the script is incompatible with APIS Plus. This most likely includes FU. You are free to make a compatibility edit, but I don't know enough about LUA to do it myself. Honestly, adding the one line that I added here is probably the single most advanced thing I've done with LUA scripting.
