StarUI Ship Builder
StarUI Ship Builder improves the ship builder for usage on PC. Compact style, sort-able columns, filter panel, category list, variant list, vertical upgrade list and many more Quality-of-Life additions.
Features
– Optimized for PC
– Compact style – See more information at once
– Adds data columns to the ship part list – Over 30 different data columns you can choose!
– The standard config contains the most important columns for every category out-of-the-box
– See the Damage Per Second and Damage Per Power point for all weapons
– Sort any column with a simple click – Toggle asc/desc by another click
– Adds a variant list popup, showing you all ship part’s variants in a well-aligned list at once – No need to go through them one-by-one any more!
– Improved vertical upgrade list, now see what you can improve without the need to scroll vertically
– Improved ship part item card comparison – Downgrading your components are now shown as red numbers!
– Clipboard function for the color picker – Copy and paste the color set (all 3 colors) at once
– Optimized key binds and added keys to many interface parts – making the interface just feels much more intuitive
– Added button hints to show you available functions (like ship part multi-select and weapon assignment hidden in flight check)
– Increases the frame-rate to 60 fps – Optional variants in 30fps and 120fps are available too
– Wide-screen support out-of-the-box
– Various bug fixes of the vanilla interface code
– Contain no plugins and no quests – Absolutely safe to install and uninstall at any time!
– Doesn’t affect the possibility to get Steam achievement
– Works with Steam and Game Pass (X-Box) version
– Partial controller support – You can see all features, but can’t control the filter panel or use the variant list popup
– Completely customizable – Customize with StarUI Configurator or via the full-commented INI file
Manual Installation
– Copy the folders Interface\ and StarUI Configurator\ from the zip into your Starfield\Data\ folder (where the ba2 files are) – ignore folders fomod and Optional
– For some people that folder won’t work, copy the files to your Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data\ folder in that case (create Data\ if it doesn’t exist)
– (Optional) 30fps or 120fps version: After doing the above steps copy the files from the appropriate sub-folder in Optional\ and overwrite the existing ones.
Configuration
Use the StarUI Configurator to configure all settings with an easy-to-use graphical interface.
Manual configuration
You can also do it manually – Everything can be controlled in the INI Data\Interface\StarUI Ship Builder (default).ini (or your own StarUI Ship Builder.ini)
Don’t worry, the file is completely commented and easy to use – you will find your setting pretty quick!
Limitations
– You hear a selection sound while StarUI Ship Builder scans data of categories, ship parts and variants – The sound is hard-coded in the engine, so it can’t be prevented. Also the 3D-preview changes in the process. See it as a feature, you can see and hear StarUI Ship Builder doing the search work for you!
– The key actions are hard-coded in the game engine, so sadly the main keys for activation and going-back can’t be re-mapped. So you have to click the ship part to view the variant list (E doesn’t work) and you can’t close the popup with TAB (will leave the list).

; ==========================================
; Configuration file for StarUI Ship Builder
; ==========================================
;
; Allows you to configure many different settings for StarUI Ship Builder.
;
; Position
; ——–
; The position is specified based on a 1920×1080 layer. If you have another resolution, it will
; automatically transformed into the position on your monitor.
;
; Anchors
; ——-
; Define a point on an element for various features (like as alignment for the item card, so in
; which direction an item card should be drawn or at which point the leading line attaches to)
;
; Valid values: TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight, {HorizontalOffset}% {VerticalOffset}%
;
; Examples for free percent values:
; 0% 0% – Equals TopLeft
; 100% 0% – Equals TopRight
; 100% 100% – Equals BottomRight
; 50% 50% – The center of the shape
; 0% 25% – This will position the anchor on the left side on 1/4 height.
;
; Tips
; —-
; * You can edit this file while the game is running. A simple close/re-open the ship builder interface
; load the new configuration!
; * Copy this file and rename the copy to “StarUI Ship Builder.ini”. Then change your settings in the
; new file. The new file won’t be overwritten by mod updates!
; * Use StarUI Configurator to edit all settings in an easy-to-use graphical interface.

bUseInternalVanillaStats = 1
; Show variant popup after clicking on a ship part that have variants. Only available for Mouse-Click (cause the game engine doesn’t allow to re-map the action key)
bShowVariantPopup = 1
; Pre-fetch the variants while hovering the entry. This will speed-up the variant popup, but may lead to a wrong selection state for the vanilla LEFT/RIGHT selection

; ============
; Filter panel

; Enable the filter panel, which allows you to filter by class, damage priorities and switch values to to Damage Per Second and Damage Per Power point

; Remove the vignette effect (shadow effect on the screen edges)

; Changes the weapon groups to start from 1 instead of 0 – So you have “Weapon Group One” instead of “Weapon Group Zero”
; Note: Only for the ship builder interface, e.g. this DOESN’T change the text in the game menu key bindings
bIncreaseWeaponZero = 0
; Changes the plural words to singular words in the upgrade list – e.g. Reactors -> Reactor
bImprovedUpgradeListSubstitutePlurals = 1
; Adds a button hint, showing CTRL+SHIFT for select parts action. – Note: Only for PC/Mouse and only with default key bindings!
