Maintenance Fees – A Simple Upkeep Mod V0.9.5

Do you want to spend your overflowing credits? Are you seeking an alternative to survival mode? Then this mod is for you. This mod makes you pay fees based on how many times you’ve done grav jumps or when visiting a city with a spaceport. No need to stock supplies, only credits are required. If you’re in debt, depending on the type of debt, you may not be able to assign a crew to your ship, or your ship may perform poorly.

In the Gameplay Options, enabling any one of Crew Upkeep, Ship Upkeep, or Spaceport Fees will add a Maintenance button to the pilot seat of your ship. From there, you can change settings, reset, or uninstall.

Crew Upkeep
Wages, provisions such as food and medical supplies, and other essential necessities.
Every 7 grav jumps, you will have to pay 2000 credits per crew member. (Customizable)
If you can’t afford crew upkeep, the crew will be dismissed, and you won’t be able to assign crew to your ship.
Even if you dismiss the crew before paying upkeep, you’ll still have to pay for the maximum number of crew members assigned before they were dismissed. This resets at the next payment.

Ship Upkeep
Expenses for mechanical components, systems, and everything necessary to maintain and manage the ship’s functionality.
Every 14 grav jumps, you will have to pay 20000 credits per your ship’s reactor rank. (Customizable)
If you can’t afford ship upkeep, your ship’s weapon recharge rate and grav range will be halved.

Spaceport Fees
Charged by the spaceport for services such as refueling, maintenance, docking, and other support services required for spacecraft operations.
Every time you visit a city with a spaceport, you will have to pay 1000 credits. (Customizable)
