Almost all ship modules added by this mod come with several variation flips, so you can gain access to the same stats & bonuses, but choose your graphics. For example, all Reactors are stacked into Small and Large constructables, so that when you choose to build a Class A DarkStar reactor, you can select the Large or Small list, and then flip variants to select the graphical model it will use.
This gets rather extreme when considering weapons. Particle, Laser and Ballistic weapons, for example, have 31 graphical variants you can flip through. This implementation was exhausting, but I wanted you to have options at your disposal. So, if you prefer the look of a specific weapon, all you have to do is flip to it with your arrow keys (keyboard) or plus pad (controller).
There is a DarkStar technician located in The Clinic. His home position is in the lobby waiting room, though he has been known to wander the entire facility. You may have to hunt for him a bit, but he should be there. If he's not, you may need to go rest somewhere for a while and let the location reset.

A more advanced technician is located inside The Den. His home position is on the other side of the partial wall behind the standard Ship Services Technician. Like his coworker in The Clinic, he roams a bit, and may be found as far away as the bar, or off to one side on a seat, or hanging out near a docking port door.

The best technician is located inside the Red Mile. His spawn location is actually next to Mei Divine's office door, though he rarely stays put. He roams like a normal Patron, and can be found gambling, eating at the bar, lounging near the lobby, or resting in a room upstairs.
