Overview
Summary:
(A framework to easily add ships for sale without conflicts.)
The system that Bethesda designed for selling ships is interesting, but it lacks a crucial element: Changeability. In vanilla Starfield, once a ship vendor has been loaded the first time, the list of ships they offer for sale is locked in forever.
That’s where this mod comes in. I’ve designed a system such that mod authors can easily add ships for sale to the various ship vendors without either conflicting with other mods that do the same or requiring the set up of a script. It will also refresh the vendor’s list of ships if a change is detected in the vendor’s “always” or “unique” lists. (A ship vendor’s inventory is composed of three lists: always a.k.a. priority, random, and unique.)
NOTE: The “random” ships are only regenerated every 7 days (by default).
How To (Lite):
Mod authors, want to use the framework? It’s easy, and you can do it in just three steps:
1. Design your ship.
2. Add your ship to a leveled base form.
3. Put that leveled base form into a form list and set one of the form lists included with this mod (SVF_ShipVendorList_*) as the target in the “add to list” box.
More detailed instructions are included in the HOWTO.txt document, and in the “How to Utilize the Ship Vendor Framework” article on Nexus Mods.
Compatibility:
This mod alters NPCs that offer ship services, as well as some of the leveled lists for spaceships that vendors use. Any other mods that also alter those objects may conflict without patches.
Known Issues:
None
NPC Ship Lists:
Note: All form list editor IDs start with “SVF_ShipVendorList_”. This prefix has been removed from the lists as presented in the following table for the sake of brevity.
Installation

None
Upgrading:
When upgrading non-major versions (for example v2.something to v2.something-else), you don’t need to do anything except replace the installed mod files.
When upgrading major versions (for example v1.whatever to v2.whatever), you need to do a clean install:
– Open the game and load your latest save
– Save your game, then quit
– Uninstall the previous version of the plugin and all its files
– Open the game and load your last save
– You will see a warning about missing the plugin you just uninstalled, choose to continue
– Save your game again, then quit
– Install the new version of the plugin
Mod Manager:
Download and install the archive with either Mod Organizer 2 (version 2.5.0 or later) or Vortex. I personally recommend Mod Organizer 2 (with the optional Root Builder plugin to use with SFSE or any other mod that requires files be put directly in the game’s installation folder).
Manual:
Unsupported.
Archive Invalidation:
Make sure your StarfieldCustom.ini file in the “Documents\My Games\Starfield” folder (or your profile folder if using a mod manager and profiles) contains the following:

Version 1.6.0
Main mod:
– Implemented a “Vendor Data Map” concept to allow the mod to be as conflict-free as possible, and as a result, was able to remove all direct vendor record edits
– Set Lt. Jillian Toft on the Vigilance to function as a ship vendor once the Crimson Fleet quest line concludes (modifies `CF_Post` dialogue `[QUST:00143472]` and `CF_Post_Toft_TL_ShipServices` scene `[SCEN:001F88DD]`)
– Added a gameplay option to allow unique ships to regenerate after purchase, instead of being a one-and-done thing
– Added a “Rich Ship Vendors” gameplay option; the amount of credits ship vendors have is controlled by a different gameplay option
– Added gameplay options to control the minimum and maximum number of ships in the “random” category that a ship vendor will attempt to sell
– Added more variable caching to try and minimize calls to potentially expensive external functions
– Added sanity checks (with messages if they fail) to support new conflict-free methodologies and records
– Added a toast-style message that pop up if a ship vendor is accessed before it’s ready and another toast-style message that will then pop up when the vendor is ready
– Changed how the unique ships are tracked so that they are tracked across vendors
– Made a pass for style consistency in all scripts
– Updated auxiliary scripts to use their own internal logging function
– Added many comments to the code to clarify things where needed and to make certain bits of logic (hopefully) easier to follow
– Removed OnInit event code from SVF_Control script to clean things up
– Made sure that all calls to local _Log function have a log level specified
– Re-worked log levels to function more like other languages
– Fixed an issue where ShipVendorScript could attempt to register for a remote event on a variable that was None.

Fixed issue where vendor could remain registered for OnPlayerLoadGame event even if not actually loaded
Fixed issue where ships could be spuriously duplicated in the vendor menu by forcing a full (instead of partial) vendor refresh when a new ship is added to either of the vendor’s “always” or “unique” lists
