I think the most recent update broke this mod.

You can use this mod later in the game too. If you want a money boost just find somewhere with the shuttle for sale at 8500. Buy it, save the game, activate the mod, load the game. Your shuttle will be worth 8 million in resale.

Works great for me, your starting shuttle gets a substantial value bump when you go to sell it. Just make sure to activate the mod using the mod manager for the game ;)
