BYOS - Build Your Own Ship

How does this work with multiplayer, specifically?
I know the main description did talk about usage in multiplayer and how it didn't matter if the server had the mod or not but what about joining games through steam friends list? For example, if my friend joins me (and doesn't have the mod) and I have a custom ship, will he crash if he teleports on to my ship? Will the custom ship even show up for him? What will happen if I teleport to his ship? Will his ship appear messed up for me or normal and unmodded?

The mod uses only vanilla assets for the ship itself. The only time in multiplayer when this might be an issue is when doing the actual quest itself. Other players see your new ship, or you see theirs, even when they don't have the mod. There will be no crash after the initial ship has loaded. You can even delete the mod after upgrading your ship and it will stay the same, as long as you dont delete your shipworld file.

Oh sweet! Also I forgot to ask; will this still work if my current ship is fully upgraded? I know I'll lose it but I wasn't sure if having the upgrades would cause problems. Same question for the main questline, which I finished a while ago.

Oh, and will this have an effect on bookmarks and saved teleporters?

to to answer your questions deoxys, there will be no effect, that i am aware of. It doenst matter if ur ship is upgraded, as the BYOS tier is 60+, main quest has no effect, even if you stalled getting your ship repaired till after byos
