Changelogs
Version 1.0.1
Converted ESP plugin into ESM small master to do things "The Starfield way". Will not use up a plugin spot in your load order.
Version 1.0
Original upload of ESP-lite plugin to increase damage x10 and weapon speed of somberX Darksaber mod.
This mod is used in addition to somberX original Darksaber mod https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4859
This ESM small master mod increased the base damage of the Darksaber by x10! It scales higher with workbench mods. The speed and reach of the Darksaber are also greatly increased for a better player experience.
Safe to install this mod mid-play through. Removal is also easy as disabling the darksaberOP.esm plugin or uninstalling it mid-playthrough. There are no scripts, textures, meshes, just the ESM small master plugin to increase damage and speed. Refer to the image to see exact changes.
somberX - if you want to use any of these tweaks in the base mod, please feel free to do so!
Let's face it, Starfield is a heavy run and shoot game. Melee combat is a joke. I originally installed somberX Darksaber because it looked cool compared to the Starfield swords that are available for a space sci-fi game. For level 1-10 the Darksaber was great, but it soon got out scaled with multiple bag guys shooting at the player, and having to slice and dice 6-10 times to get a kill was making it pointless. So "I know a guy..." and created this O.P. mod to increase the base damage and speed of the Darksaber weapon. Starfield is still a run and shoot game... but at least now when I want to be stealthy and get in close and make a quick strike/take down kill, I can do it with one, quick, deadly swing of Darksaber O.P.!! (And now, you can too!)
