ASC Deimos

Additional Ship Components DEIMOS STARYARDS

UPDATE 1.12 - Since the Free Lanes update, the game engine no longer renders projected decals - including faction insignia - while inside the Ship Builder. However, they do still render in game, so they work as intended. To help identify parts, I have added the respective insignia names to the part titles within the builder menu.

Description This mod introduces a collection of hand-modeled ship parts designed to expand on Starfield’s modular system while staying true to the rugged, military-inspired style of Deimos Staryards. The new parts are intended as a natural extension of the game’s visual language, offering more options for creative shipbuilding without breaking immersion.

All components are designed to be as modular as possible, allowing them to be freely combined with both vanilla parts and other mods. I focused on filling niches that felt underrepresented, such as compact pieces suited for smaller fighters and a cladding system that supports the look of larger freighters and corvettes. Whether building B-class strike craft or large haulers, these additions are intended to integrate seamlessly into your arsenal.

Availability All new parts are sold alongside regular Deimos components. You’ll find them at vendors who normally stock Deimos parts—such as Ship Technicians in New Atlantis, Cydonia, and Gagarin—and, of course, at the Deimos Staryard itself. They’re also available in the outpost shipbuilder. While I initially planned to restrict them exclusively to Deimos Staryards for lore purposes, I ultimately chose wider availability to make shipbuilding more accessible. Some pieces remain quest-locked or level-gated to maintain progression and lore consistency (see below).

Balance The value, mass, and level requirements of these parts are in line with their vanilla counterparts to preserve balance and immersion. A small adjustment was made for some of the added structural components: they now include a hull rating to reflect their military background and light armor capacity. • Average hull addition is minor • This benefit is offset by slightly higher mass and increased cost to keep things fair. • The hull bonus is meant to be more of a narrative touch than a balance shift.

Level- or Quest-Locked Parts • Single Frequency Scan Jammer: Level 3 • Dual-Frequency Scan Jammer: Level 10, Starship Design Rank 1 • Multi-Frequency Scan Jammer: Level 16, Starship Design Rank 2 • Shield Booster: Unlocked after "Legacy's End", Starship Design Rank 1 • Targeting Sensors: Unlocked after "Legacy's End", Level 10

Additional Re-meshes This mod also includes three re-meshes of vanilla parts I felt were missing for certain builds: • [ASC-D] Pylon Type C • [ASC-D] Pylon Type D • [ASC-D] Spine Connector

Compatibility The new parts are sorted under the Structural and Equipment tabs alongside all other Deimos components. Please note that other mods altering sorting may cause some overlap depending on load order. The mod should be safe to add mid-game since nothing else is changed. If you uninstall, please take the usual precautions and make sure none of your ships are currently using the added parts.
