HOW TO USE Enable the Creation, visit a ship technician and look for the new AB variants in the Weapons category of the Ship Builder. Purchase and install the desired weapons, then assign them to weapon groups as needed. Existing installed weapons are not upgraded automatically.

Original class, mass, power requirements, purchase prices, appearance, attachment points, level requirements, perks and vendor restrictions are preserved. Weapons are not all available from level 1 or at every vendor. Your reactor class and total weapon power limits still apply.

REQUIREMENTS AND COMPATIBILITY Requires only Starfield. No other mods or SFSE are required. Uses new weapon component and recipe IDs; missile ammunition, projectiles and explosions are duplicated where needed. Original weapons and NPC ships using them remain unchanged. Other mods that change shipbuilding, weapon behavior or component availability may affect these variants.
