I got the mod to work, and I am happy to now own a Starborn Phoenix, but is this just per save? Or will I be able to claim one from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion after removing the mod. This seems like a dumb question but I'm really curious. Please and thank you
Not working for me as of May 4th. Main folder is in MODS folder. I see the Emote of the ship, but when I left click, nothing happens. Thanks in advance.
I used the Service Bot to get the ship. That system works amazing. Can't wait to get more rewards as I just came back to the game and missed all the expeditions.
Extract .zip to GAMEDATA\MODS. Should then look like the screenshot in images. In-game go into emote menu and click on the button with the picture of the ship.
im sorry im new to modding, might need more help with this. I have a few questions to ask because i have tried using all the emotes, but to no avail. Firstly, to my knowledge if you add a mod in the game there will be a warning message that says you modded the game. After adding the mod, I did not see the message. Is the message supposed to appear?
Second, how does the exchange work? Do you need to be in the space anomaly? on any planet? And how will the ship appear? Will it replace your current ship magically in front of you?
From the other posts, it seems that there is supposed to be a LUA file? I do not see that file anywhere in the folder. So how do i confirm if i have installed the mod correctly?
There is only one correct emote for this, looks like the ship. If you don't see that and no mod warning screen, then mods aren't loading. Something is wrong on your end. As you don't see the Lua, makes me think you didn't extract the files properly or something is wrong with whatever you use for .zip. If you go to the files tab and click on Preview file contents, you'll see there's an lua script file in there. With the preview, you'll also see there's a top level folder called Starborn Phoenix Unlocker, this is what needs to be extracted to GAMEDATA\MODS, not loose files. I would HIGHLY recommend going to one of the three big NMS Discords for real time troubleshooting. Here, I can't see what's going on and a few exploratory questions back and forth can take days. On Discord, where screenshots can be shared, troubleshooting this would only take minutes.
Exchange works exactly like any other ship exchange in game, that is not modded at all, completely vanilla.
Edit: I added a screenshot of a proper install on the IMAGES tab
Vanilla TEXTURE cache issue. If you leave the game and come back in, will most likely be sorted. Sometimes can take more than once, but usually once is enough.
When you say summon by emote, do you mean the emotes under the quick menu or "ship emotes" as in it should be part of our ship inventory summonable list?
Hi Guys, As a novice in moding. could some one pls explain what to do to make it works. thx in avance,
Edit, I finally founded why it was not working for me. Files must be extracted in the "GAMEDATA\MODS" folder but not in the "GAMEDATA\MOD" as mentioned. Yes it's simple for everyone but need a while to find it out for a novice that I am.
I'm not the person who posted the initial comment, but I got it to work. However, if the mod is active on my game any time after using the emote command for it, FPS plummets to 10 or less as long as the mod is active. I usually get 60-80. Ironically, if I deactivate it I can keep the ship, and the framerate goes back to normal.
Talamaeus I believe once you have the ship you can remove the mod... do you have to 'emote' this ship in? As in spawn it then get in to claim? I was under impression you had to have a spare as your active ship and then a trade would pop up on login?
Yes, can remove after you get the ship and your game saves. You do get the trade window and swap at that point. Again, will be updating either tonight or tomorrow, which should resolve the FPS issue. Just have to get past the work week first. :)

Thank you for clarifying and for the great mod.
