Shade's Skill Points for Credits or Essence

=== Main Features ===

Visit certain NPCs and you'll have an additional activation you can press to bring up a menu and purchase additional skill points. This is the 'R' key by default on PC, but it will show you on-screen. Kiosks are also present in certain locations.

== Features ==

• Grants you an immersive way to utilise your hard-earned credits for meaningful gains
• Grants an immersive way to spend Quantum Essence for meaningful gains
• Visit certain Kiosks or NPCs to buy your Skill Points though training - see below for details
• Cost starts at 5,000, then 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, etc increasing by 10,000 after each purchase to a maximum of 150,000 per skill point. NG+ cost will jump to 60,000 after the first purchase for some balance. There are also some basic multipliers to change the cost in the Setting Menu
• Time (approx 4hrs) also passes with each skill point purchase "training"
• Quantum Essence obtained during the main story can also be spent - see below for details
• Settings Menu buttons can be accessed by crouching/sneaking when you interact to open the Training Menu

== NPCs you can buy/train from - press the alternative interaction button on screen ==

• Exam Proctor Samuelson in the UC Vanguard training centre, New Atlantis
• Simulator controls terminal inside the UC Vanguard training simulator, New Atlantis
• Alex Shadid, The Rock, Akila City
• Shinya Voss, The Key (Crimson Fleet)
• Veena Kalra - R&D, Ryugen, Neon (I'm open to further suggestions)

== Kiosk locations ==

• UC Vanguard Training & Exam Centre in New Atlantis
• Freestar Rangers HQ upstairs - inside "The Rock" building in Akila City
• Crimson Fleet - Delgado's Office at the top of the Operations Centre, The Key

== Quantum Essence == Quantum Essence gained later in the main story can also be spent to acquire Skill Points. Visit the Lodge and look for the "Quantum Focusser" on the dresser in your room - cost is 10 Quantum Essence by default. If you haven't got any, or haven't progressed far enough in the main story it will not do anything and thus avoid spoilers

== This Mod Does NOT ==

• Does not change your character's level or XP
• Does not train or rank-up individual skills - it simply adds a Skill Point to spend as if you leveled-up
• Does not change anything relating to skills or their unlocking requirements
• Does not edit any game records and thus should not clash with any other mod

== Compatibility ==

• Objects have added to The Lodge, UC exam room, Freestar Ranger GQ and Crimson Fleet Operations Room - any mod that place objects in the same place will look funny, but this is highly unlikely to occur at this stage.
• I've updated the above Cells' flags to match the Community Patch.
• Should work happily alongside any other mods as it does not modify any other game forms.

Basically there should be no technical clashes or issues, only visual weirdness if another mod tries to place stuff in the same locations I have.
