About this mod

This mod patched the logic holes of bulletproof spacesuits in Starfield by adding wearable energy shields to spacesuits and apparel.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
The NASA-punk spacesuits in Starfield are somehow impenetrable and bulletproof. Since humanity invented the grav drive and shieldings for spaceships, it's lore-friendly to have energy shieldings for spacesuits.



This mod changes the armour platings of the UC Marine Spacesuits into wearable energy shields. It also includes two types of face/helmet energy visors. The shields are purely cosmetic and available for all genders.

The shields' appearance can be customised at the Spacesuit Workbench. 

There are two versions: Spacesuit shield (for use with spacesuits) and Outfit shield (for use with apparel). The shields can be used with most spacesuits or clothing, except for the very bulky ones.

If you use the shields with the armoured UC Marine Spacesuits, the armour platings will be replaced automatically. 

The Energy Visor 1 is based on the faceplate of the UC Marine Helmet. Because it sits close to the face, it is unlikely to be compatible with most helmets. The Energy Visor 2 is based on the UC Pilot Helmets and is more compatible except for the big helmets.

Download the optional file if you want to use Visor 2 with the UC Pilot Helmets. This optional file is incompatible with other mods that alter the Nifs and geometries of the vanilla UC Pilot Helmets, but simple retexture mods should be compatible.




How to get the outfit:

- Craft it at the industrial workbench at the hefty cost of one iron. Look for the entries starting with ZY7.

- Or, get the outfit by using the console command. Search the IDs by typing: help ZY7

Once crafted, the body shield is in the "Spacesuit" or "Apparel" section of the inventory, depending on which version you've crafted.

The spacesuit version of the face shields can be found under "Helmet".


TIPS
Once you have a stable-ish load order, I highly recommend this mod, which allows you to equip and unequip the items with customisable hotkeys, as demonstrated in this video:
