StarUI, a must-have mod to replace the bad inventory UI (www.nexusmods.com)

For anyone who hasn't yet checked out the Nexus since the game's release, an inventory UI replacement mod has already been out for some days. It gives you a way more compact and useful inventory interface with clickable columns that you can sort by, and most importantly the value per mass column. The most important item stat in Bethesda games.

Another thing you can do is add temporary columns of many different stats to compare your items. It also shows that quantity of an item you already have while shoping. And probably other things.

I’d love if the dev ended up making something similar for the ship builder. I wanna see manufacturer, mass etc on one screen.

Yeah same, its UI was one the big reasons I noped out of the ship builder at first haha

It’s a pain at first fs. Yesterday was my first day fucking with it and spent a few hours fuckin around.

One shortcut I kinda pieces together was that same prices = same stats but the main thing is being able to see thrust, mass, and manufacture all of which are of course behind a mouse hover lol

I do have to say this feature in general is pretty cool. Love the ability to “figurine” my ship together. Space engineers has a similar mechanic for all vehicles but you gotta do it “Lego” style and do it literally brick by brick which can be unnecessarily tedious.

Thanks for the info.
Personally one thing that really annoyed me in my first galnce at the ship builder was not being able to rotate pieces by 90°, I'm not sure how much of an actual gripe it actually is but there was a cargo hold that I had space to add on the back of my ship but couldn't because it wouldn't it's a side-piece and wouldn't snap to the back. Maybe there's an equivalent back-piece, idk, but still.

Oh yeah that part is also whack as fuck haha. They do sometimes have different variants of a part that are for each facing combo (side+facing)

Another weird decision. You gotta wonder if they put some of these goofy ass features in on purpose so they can “fix” them later for cool kid points and to relieve themselves of some launch day pressure haha

I think the first DLC might add space stations that you can build, a player was able to take a space station into his fleet thanks to a bug, and there were some other supporting evidence for it. If it really is that, it might mean ship builder improvements if we are lucky.

That would be cool, I’d rather have a space station than a ground outpost personally
