Start the game and check if all mods have been disabled ingame. I had a problem where a modfile had been compiled in to the 'vanilla backup' of the game files in SMM and was screwing up all testing. Download all 4 files A.ftl B.ftl C.ftl D.ftl from this link to that mod folder. Activcate just file A.ftl and start the game.
Edit 2:New release for vanilla AE: BYOS v1.02. You don't need the patch for this. Vanilla AE Scrap is still unpatched. I'll release a new version of this if v1.02 fixes the issues
Edit:The Chain and Charge lasers (including the vulcan) seem to be missing form all versions. I've added a patch for the vanilla AE version:download patch 1.01.
Simply load it after BYOS or BYOS unlimited scrap. A new category should appear in the 'laser' menue. A patch for CE/CE infinite will follow soon.
This mod strips all ships of their crew and equipment and lets you buy all items in the game on the first beacon. If you want to challenge yourself by using a unique strategy that requires a specific set of startig equipment or just want to mess around with your dream equipment right from the start, this is the mod for you.
There are 3 versions of this mod: Vanilla AE, CE and CE infinite, each with a limited (350 scrap) or unlimited scrap version. BYOS CE is fully compatible with Captains edition, BYOS CE infinite with Captains Edition with Infinite Addon.

BYOS CE infinite adds an augment 'BYOS Shop Licence' that allows you to access the shop. Please sell this item at the fist store, or else you will get prompted after every deep space jump to enter the shop again.
Unlimited Power Book
It should work fine with CE endless loot, but you won't be able to buy the modified items at the BYOS shop.
