@Polski - This is *probably* fine in 2.6. I haven't quite got round to testing it though. And I expect the battleship stern section will probably break for lithoids, as the devs don't release graphics for S4 stern sections any more. Not sure what I'll do about that.

Pls Update to 2.6

Thank you I'll use it well

@blacktigeractual: Thanks for letting everyone know :-)

Seems fine in 2.5 so far. :)

Ask and ye shall receive! (Although, in this case, I only had to update the version number.)

Here's to hoping this gets an update, killer mod.

Updated for v2.2.4. Also added a new battleship stern (2S+2PD), in case you want to run a battleship-only fleet and need your battleships to be able to shoot at corvettes.

Can you update this mod to 2.2? It feels very useful xd

Thank you!!!

@alex_dt83: Done - although, for this mod, there was no need to make any changes.

please update to 2.1

A lot has changed in v2.0, so it's quite possible that vanilla/unmodded hangars are OK once again. IMO, the biggest issue in 1.8 & 1.9 was that the AI for fighters/bombers was awful - they would often fly off in a random direction without firing a shot. When that happens, you haven't made a small sacrifice - you've practically zeroised your offensive power (for those ships).

"Because, in vanilla, the only way to get point defence on cruisers and battleships is to use hangars, which are rubbish" whatever you see as vanila is invalid. I use cruiser plus BB point defence all day (ya need to sacrifice some firepower but thats where 2 differnet designs come in handy (one for PD and Bombers and another for sheer firepower with all L slots(plus XL in front for BB)

Updated for 2.0, and for compatibility with Humanoids DLC. Not thoroughly tested, as 2.0 has only been out for a few hours - please let me know if you encounter any bugs.

...and I've just noticed they didn't add an S4 battleship stern model for the new humanoid DLC. So, this mod will probably cause problems if you've chosen the humanoid ship design. It probably won't affect the AI though, because the AI doesn't like to put PD on their ships.

Fair enough :-)

I know, but I don`t like warnings in mod menu )

FYI, you can usually get away with running outdated mods, as long as they're simple. Even the upcoming massive 2.0 update is unlikely to break this mod.

Thank you!!!

@alex_dt83 Done. There was no need to change anything other than the version number.

Please update to 1.9

I love it！

Indeed it is, thank you

@[TRG]Gorbian: Thanks for the heads-up. It should be fixed now!

Heads up, the link to Arc Emitter Miniaturization links back to this page

@TIYB: This mod adds new ship sections for the vanilla cruiser and battleship. If other mods add new ship sizes/classes/etc then they will not have these new ship sections.

If you like my approach and want it to be included in other mods, you should ask the authors of those mods - it's really not a difficult thing to implement (basically just a copy/paste job).

Does this work with NSC?

I have do it, nothing...but i understand it, but your mod is good to me, i liike it, simple but usefull.

Point DEFENCE xD

Perfect. Now I can make my support cruisers a bit more feasable. Thanks.

@Drakon8: I took a look at that mod and, well, it's certainly doable. (For everything except the heavy dreadnought anyway - it'll take more than a couple of minutes to figure out what's going on there.)

However, it wouldn't be a good idea for me to make the changes - I don't use the Realistic Ships mod myself, so I can't properly test or maintain any patch I created. Also, they might not like me stepping all over their design. Also, this mod is intended as an ultra-lightweight patch to vanilla - not as a patch to other mods.

Honestly, you should ask the mod creators over there to implement it themselves - eg. by duplicating RS_BATTLECRUISER_STERN_S2 and making it 2xPD instead of 2xSmall. That's all I did, after all.

a version for Realistics Ship will be fine ! :)
Thanks !

It will work on existing saves. But take a backup just in case - I'm not sure what will happen if you disable the mod while there are ships that use the new sections.

Looks like a good idea. I wanted point defense on cruisers, without hangers. Willi it work on a save game or do I need a new game?
