Shade’s Ship Stealing (Authorize Restricted Ships)
Overrides the “You are not authorized to Pilot this ship” message when trying to steal a ship you’ve cleared out. Go forth and acquire your fleet!
Main Features
Overrides the “You are not authorized to Pilot this ship” message when trying to steal a ship you’ve cleared out, enabling you to actually steal it.
Ships that have this limitation are often part of some scripted events and random encounters like bounty hunters from what I’ve been able to learn on forums & Reddit.
Quest related ships – unsure if there’s any impacts of side-effects if you were to steal a quest related ship as yet. Be careful with quest-specific ships and please let us know in the posts section if you see any issues. Note that there are still vanilla game bugs being reported for some ships that you can steal even without this mod.
Installation
Just install anytime with MO2.
You can install manually as well if you really want.
Archive invalidation
Like most mods in Bethesda games – you’ll probably need to enable “Archive Invalidation” so that the game engine allows files to be overridden.
Edit/create your StarfieldCustom.ini located in:
Documents\My Games\Starfield
Ensure it contains a section like this:
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
Uninstallation
Just delete / remove the mod files anytime – it is safe to do so as it does not use plugins and does not affect data in your save files.
