WAL Ship Builders Store V1.0

Description
Story

WAL Ship Builders (WSB) is the ship and vehicle construction and sales subsidiary of the WAL organisation. They produce and sell all the ships and vehicles used by WAL and also provide private sales to interested parties and civilians.

Their outlets can be found in any system where WAL operates and provide an essential service to support exploration and colonisation operations.

Watch out for their prices however. Limited resources and expensive transportation costs can make any ship or vehicle an expensive investment in remote systems.

About

This mod adds in 3 station spawns and 1 ground base spawn for Modular Encounters as shops for purchasing custom grids that are found in my WAL Fleet mod.

This mod uses the Survival Store Block mod to allow for the sale of custom ships. As this store block mod appears to have some quirks and a couple of possible issues for multiplayer, I am recommending this mod for solo/hosted game players only.

The quirks are:

> The stores appear to randomly choose a selection of grids enabled for sale - so don't be disappointed if not all the grids are for sale at once at the same store.

> The price of the grids through the stores is not able to be customised, the game calculates the cost of the grids from the blocks used to build them - this means that some of the grids for sale a rather expensive and may require you to artificially inflate your own bank balance.

> On a planet, grids spawn at height and will fall to the ground leading to damage as soon as purchased - to mitigate this, I have included a safe zone on the planetary store but MES can't seem to spawn the shop in with the safe zone enabled. This can be overridden using the "Access all Terminals" setting in solo play to activate the safe zone which will then take 2 minutes to activate.

This mod was requested by a subscriber to my WAL Fleet mod for Modular Encounters and is something I have previously considered, it is only possible thanks to the Survival Store mod, even if it is a bit quirky.

Just as a heads up im showing 46 errors in the alt F11 menu. Not sure what is happening or if its even causing performance issues but thought i'd share that and see if its any thing to be concerned about.

If anyone knows of an easier or more controllable way to sell custom grids at stations, please let me know. While the mod used for the stores does the job, the set up and configuration to create this mod is a little clunky and still has a few quirks. If there is a better or simpler way to do this I can modify the mod as needed.
