About this mod
Argon Reborn improves the Station/Crew NPCs models, population of the Stations, spawns only Station Races NPCs for each faction, Habitat for Argon now only spawns Argon Characters, same with the others if modified in the config file of the mod.

- Donations
This is my take on walking in station system, NPC models, Races and Races Habitat. What this mod do?
Last update notes (1.20): -----------------
- Added a special version for DLC Vendetta, with all the bugs fixes regarding Split Race. Use the vanilla version for a non dlc game.
------------------------------------------------------------
1) All NPC models are changed! No more ugly trolls, they are even custom ones that have never been used in any mod, since i wrote the characters from zero with the old assets available from X4.
2) All stations are populated with their own race (beside visiting pilots) and spawn more crew. So on a Argon station you will find only Argon people, same with Teladi and Paranids, not tested on Split since i don't have the DLC (do tell if it works well), it should work.
3) (Updated!) Player owned Argon HABITAT now spawns Argons (based on the Population of the habitat and on chardensity in config.xml ). If you don't want Argon Race habitat, change the race in the id_argonreborn/MD/argonreborn_config.xml (open with a notepad, text editor and read the instructions)
Replace race.argon with your desired race, i.e race.split, race.paranid, race.teladi and then replace with same faction below.
Replace faction.argon with the same race you added in $phabitatrace line, so if you want teladi, you replace race.argon with race.teladi and faction.argon with faction.teladi
4) On Docks you will find now more types of people: Pilots,Managers, Service and Marines. Starting from rookies to 3 Stars Crew, but they cost between 5k to 5mil.
5) When buying a new ship you can also recruit managers and captains, instead of only service crew and marines.
6) If you want more NPC to spawn on your station or NPCstation, modify the values in id_argonreborn/MD/argonreborn_config.xml :
0.50 default - lower for more FPS.
1.00 - 1.10 for many npcs.
Play with the values to have your desired FPS, but keep in mind that on some docks (the open 3M3S docks, the FPS can be low on 1.0 - due to them being open and rendering lots of stuff)
7) The player shipyards, spawn argon crew when building a new ship, will spawn the same for other factions, so disabled it, if you
dont play with Argon, as it will spawn only argon crews for ship, but the Captain should be from the race of the shipyard in theory so it might work. It needs the optional file in the download section.
8) Bombs!
I left in something i use. Player Bomb Launcher bombs now does 15000 dmg, so around 35-40 should destroy an Administration Center, but not sure how it works these days, if you have to bomb the whole station or only one module.
Note:
For faction representatives to change and some other static npcs that are created on new game, the mod requires a new game start, for just general stations NPCs and Habitat, should be save game compatible.
Installation
Use Vortex or Simply extract the "id_argonreborn" folder from the ZIP into your "X4/extensions' folder. Create the extensions folder if you don't have it in the game folder.
Special thanks to FlynTie for some insights i forgot since i played the first version of the game. Gramston for discovering interesting assets in the game, TenebrisMessorem for starting this way back, and making me understand how the NPC templates work. Also, that special Dev that keeps messing up the NPC since the release of the game.
