About this mod

Redecorates the interior of the Leopard dropship to make it feel more lived in. Vehicles for your company are stowed in the rear, a small workshop area is made, Fahad gets his own work desk in the corner, your mom's picture is posted on the wall in your room, and the lighting is slightly altered.

This mod makes some minor changes to the Leopard dropship level to make it feel a little more alive and lived in. You can see most of the changes in the posted pictures. The changes were tested by walking around to see if the player could get stuck anywhere, but I did not find any places where this was possible.
  • The biggest thing was that I wanted to add some vehicles to the ship since you would imagine that your crew would at least need a truck to travel to the city in when you land on a planet. A Riverjack, Swiftwind, Mobile HQ, and Scorpion tank are added for flavor because they look cool.
  • A small workshop area with cabinets, work tables, tools, sinks, and other props is added at the bottom of the front stairs.
  • Fahad gets his own little corner desk area under the stairs.
  • A few details are added to the upper rear area of the ship, including some equipment and a small crew area by some rear lockers.
  • A picture of your mom playing with you (the commander) as a kid is posted beside the computer in your commander's quarters. A rifle is added on the desk and a laptop placed on the bed for relaxing in bed.
  • A few other objects are added, moved, or removed such as storage containers.


There does seem to be a little more lag than the vanilla Leopard level, however, I can't determine whether it's caused by the additional assets (which don't seem like they would be the cause since not too much is added and it's mostly low-detail) or if it's caused by the procedure used when exporting the level before packaging the mod. The slight increase in lag on my computer is perfectly bearable for me relative to the benefits of the Leopard looking nicer, so personally I don't mind it. I hope you all appreciate this mod as well!
