VIGILANCE
Features
New Armor: The VIGILANCE Spacesuit with over 10 different variations to find alongside multiple helmet variations, a new boostpack and unique versions. A clothing version of the undersuit is also available.
Toggleable Armor Abilities: The unique variants of the armor have special abilities that are toggled using a newly added "-Toggle Armor Ability-" aid item that can be favorited. These abilities can also be added to regular VIGILANCE armor after finding a special schematic or going through NG+.
New Weapon: The Nightingale, a hard hitting .50 caliber submachine gun/carbine with plenty of customisation options to tweak it to your liking.
New Melee Weapon: The trusty Crowbar.
New Grenades: A series of deployable energy shields that block projectiles until they run out of power or take too much damage.
New Dungeon: A massive underground facility located on Tirna II, full of enemies to fight, secrets to discover and loot to find.
How to Get
Everything listed above can be found in the facility on Tirna II in the Alpha Tirna system. A short quest will start when you first load the game with VIGILANCE installed that will guide you to the entrance. You may need to re-scan the planet to reveal the location.
Every new item including uniques and unique attachments can be crafted at an industrial workbench by finding the required schematics inside the facility OR after going through NG+ at least once.
The new ammo for the Nightingale is also added to weapon vendors for ease of access.
FAQ
What programs did you use to make this? Starfield Creation Kit and it's utilities. 3DS Max 2021 Substance Painter 2025 Marmoset Toolbag 5
I have a question/feedback about the creation, how do I contact you? I don't accept friend requests but feel free to send me a message request on Discord @novafinch or ping me in one of the many Starfield/Modding servers I'm in.
What next? I do have a couple of content updates planned for VIGILANCE, one will be themed around your character becoming more familiar with their technology and able to create new powerful modifications for it. In the future there is more I'd like to do with the faction too.

This is what paid mods should be. If all paid mods were as good as Vigilance, I don't think that there would be as many complaints about them. The mod is incredible. I don't care much for the weapons and whatnot that were added with the mod, I see those as a bonus. The real meat here is the sprawling series of quests that take place in the underground facility. Just an incredible experience all around
