Original Mod
Description:
==========================================
Do your bastion citadels feel underpowered when fully built out? This mod adds heavy weapon batteries for starbases and improves their power systems to allow for full exploitation of improved weapons and defenses. Don't leave your systems unprotected!

Want those heavy defense platforms to act like starbases and never fully die? Try out At War: Defense Platform Longevity!

Features

Miniaturized Defense Platform Components - a technology to unlock Heavy Defense Platforms which have twice the hull points and twice the weapon mounts of standard Defense Platforms.
Improved Heavy Defense Platform Hulls / Advanced Heavy Defense Platform Hulls - two techs to buff hull points.
Heavy Starbase defense modules, unlockable through research, add some serious firepower to your Star Fortresses and Citadels.
Vastly-improved Starbase Power Plants allow for your battle-stations to become FULLY OPERATIONAL with UNLIMITED POWER™!
Starport Defense Algorithms - repeatable engineering tech to add additional defense platforms late game. Capped at 5 repeats.

UNLIMITED POWER™ is not actually infinite, but does offer around an order of magnitude more than vanilla reactors at later tiers.

NSC2 and Starbase Extended

If you use to much Heavy Modules on your starbase is going to show 1 Fleet Power.
Its just a Visual. ur starbase still works normal.

Compatibility

No vanilla files were harmed in making this mod.
Compatible with Stellaris v3.9.*
As with any mod that affects game play, NOT achievement compatible.

With that said, thank you for sharing this mod with us, i really appreciate it!

I can see why you'd buff them because star bases in general struggle to keep up with lategame fleets, but i think increasing the cost/upkeep somewhat relative to their performance would be nice so that you can't just maintain 22 fully upgraded citadels with like T+X+3xH and maybe a Gun module for the point defense with less than 200 energy which can easily be covered by taxing a vassal while making your bases basically invincible or at the very least once you add defense platforms.

Last thing i can think of is that the heavy hangar bay module uses the icon of the trade hub instead of the strike craft module, which isn't too big of a deal but it can be confusing when trying to find it.

After playing for a while with this mod i gotta say i really like it.
I really didn't understand why we could build ion cannons around our bases but not as part of the actual base, and the fact that you can only build 1 T weapon module per base prevents it from being too op.

What i love is that the heavy modules give +2 trade protection range, which means you could theoretically fully cover a sector with a starbase in it's capital with 2 heavy modules, instead of 4 regular.

Something i am concerned about is balance though:
A heavy hangar bay only costs 200% as much for building and upkeep, but instead of giving 2 hangar slots it gets like 5 or 6.
