This mod makes the following changes to the campaign layer of Starsector:

1. Weapons and combat ships are scarce and highly regulated. As such, only military markets (and those pesky black markets) will sell higher tier weapons, LPCs, modspecs, and combat ships. Open markets still sell civilian grade ships and lowtier combat ships and items.

-
1. Lawless factions (e.g. pirates and pathers) and independents do not submit to this rule of law. You can still find hightier weapons and combat ships at their bases (both core and raider).

2. There are no pristine ships any more, everything is d-modded. Including your starting fleet.

3. Access to most black markets is impossible while legally docked at the station. Additionally, you will need to pay bribes to transact your business (in lieu of tariffs).

4. Factions are armed to the teeth. Any non-hidden market has at least an orbiting station, ground defences, and patrol HQ. Hidden bases (pirates and pathers raider bases) only get ground defences.

5. Your actions have consequences. When defeating a fleet, your reputation with seemingly unrelated factions changes as well. Enemies of your enemy start to like you a bit, while their friends, less.

3. Conversely, when stability is high, higher value ships and weapons become too hot to trade on the Black Market.
