Scripts only cause performance issues if they are doing anything. It doesn't matter how many you have or how they are organized. If you have 1 million scripts with 1000 lines each but none of them have any functions that are running, it will take 0 CPU cycles.

Awesome! Thanks. Ive been wondering about that question every time I made a new script. I have around 60 scripts all referencing each other via. "static var" would that cause any issues? So far my test game on my Android seem to be ok, but im far from finishing the game and have crazy amounts of scripting left to do.

Static variables can cause issues because static means there is only one instance of that variable per class, nothing to do with performance. But if you actually only want one instance, then it's fine.
