Expansive: Drive Signatures System

Description
This mod is part of the Expansive Mods collection.

This separated version is for those who want to run particular parts of the mod collection without others.

Features

  • Drive Signatures System:
    • Beacon blocks are required on ships. They are used to transmit drive signatures.
    • Thrusters produce a thermal load that combines to produce a signature strength (beacon text for size of signature and distance of beacon broadcast.
    • Heat Vent blocks help to reduce a thermal signature.
    • Non-ship grids, or atmospheric grids have custom non-ship signatures.
    • Beacons have an anti-tamper feature to stop players from tampering with signatures.
    • Antennae can be used as transponders to broadcast a ship name with the signature, or run without an ID.
    • Antennae are free to be used to display comms text as ship name broadcast can be done via the beacon per above.

    Best combined with the other Expansive Mods: Drive Signature System mods and Braking Burn PB script for the full experience.

    If using these separate versions together, there will be notices in the hidden console for possible logic collisions. This can be ignored as the different scripts are all accessing the same Beacon entity and do not collide. It is just an engine warning.
