smart :)

Yes

@gray are you doing it this way so its easy to update in the future?

Ah! Okay, understood. Thanks.

@doctornull Future stuff. This is mod will just be the shipsets. The items are in the second mod im building atm.

Could you add something about which shipsets get which weapons?

I see the slots documented very nicely in a spreadsheet, but not the weapons.

sounds interesting , i'll give it a try

@Alexander Nope. I wasnt a big fan of the set. Its incomplete. However, if anyone is willing to help with the models. I would include it.

Was devastated to see the old mod page had gone down a while back, amazing to see it updated so soon though, even in a reduced state.

Congrats on front page! It definitely deserves the recognition!

There will be a comp patch for Kurogane 2.0?

@sdschildberg I have to rewrite EVERYTHING. I dont know yet. Although i will say, im not full time teaching this term. So more than previous.

What's the timeline on the AI changes? My favorite feature in this mod is that the AI understands the ship designer, so I'm looking forward to the re-addition of the AI changes.

@†MLS† KIRINAS ';,†,;' ;,,; I can do that. I'm not at rockets yet.

good to know as i have quite a few modded shipsets and wanted to add this but didn't want to completely break it

if it's like the old versions of the mod, unsupported shipsets will just be Vanilla

if i use this mod with other modded shipsets what would happen?

May i suggest rebalance rocket low-ranges due to current rocket meta (and longrange in general) and rework artillery-type weapons for future updates?

I wrote about last one on 4.0, because its really was only thing than can bruteforce nearly any shipset, even if empire dont have focus on them. They too good and too powerfull due to huge range and high burst damage that melts anything.

@ Daepapa Yeah, you're right — Stellaris in its base form isn’t really suited for this... But in my opinion, this system is much better, more logical, and just really well made.

Ah ok i thought i was doing something wrong

@IvyMooreChild Oh i know what youre talking about. DW about that. I've fixxed that. You'll see it when i publish the bioships.

@Realhollow. Tech isnt in. I have to rewrite everything. Ships are in. Working on Bioships now.

Does this version on have the ships in it? as iv got the vanilla techs

YES you are back :)

@MorallyGrey
Starbase Buildings, that seems to be the only thing though.

@Death so basically artificially forcing the game into a playstyle that it's not meant for

Should work fine. What are you getting that text on?

Does this work with Gigastructures? I assumed it did because that doesn't edit ships but I'm also getting funky names like "sm_pd_large"

(It could also be another mod conflict, but I don't have anything else that changes structures/ships in any way.)

@Zia, working on that. The new code allows this.

@Large_Gremlin i do have all my other mods up from previous versions. However i wont be updating them at all.

A simple request: Having a quick summery of what each ship set is specialised towards more easily readable either in this page, or in game (something more aces sable than a excel document) would be amazing and likely draw more users.

Oh my gosh, as someone who's been using these mods since your earliest versions I am so happy to see this back. A reason to install the game again...

I can't belive my sore eyes =.= I thought this was a fata morgana. But for real I have been starving to play stellaris with your mod/s, glad you are doing well.

By the way, is there a legacy version of this for 3.14?

Very happy to see this updated!

Is this the mod that adds ONLY the shipet sections? I dont want to have anything else

@BroncoXeno2035

All the unique traits and tech paths arent in the game atm. I have to entirely rewrite them due too all the changes in the code this update. At present the ships are only altered by the shipsets. Meaning, if i were to give you the other faction shipsets with random other shipsets, you'd just look like the avians, if you picked the avian bonus.

Is it possible to make modded shipsets at least take on other factions' unique traits in the meantime so modded ones can still enjoy this as well?

Those arent the best sets for the inclusion. Broken due to updates. However, i did find a better version of pirates which i will look at including. I wish there was a pirate advisor to go with this.

And here's the White-Gold shipset.

Here's the two Pirate shipsets.

@†MLS† KIRINAS ';,†,;' ;,,;

Cosmo sets will need some more work, as they were tied to the tech paths before. But yes.

Pirates are a very likely option. Link them. I will also want to do synth queen set.

I do wonder if there'll be support for modded shipsets outside of the unofficial machine shipset.
(Like the White-Gold or Pirate shipsets?)

And any plans for cosmogenesis ships? There currently 4 for bio and 3 for non.

Working on Bioships now. They will have their own.

So bioships is currently dead with this mod or it just not gonna have anything special? Im pretty sure that AI can be randomized with them or with civic for fauna-focus ships.

@victoriousdread07 (private) The idea is that you choose, for example, human ships, and at first you only have access to a few types of weapons — like missiles and lasers. For humans, there also seems to be a warp drive. You play against either humans or bots, who, for example, use Necriod ships that only have various types of plasma weapons and cloaking (at least that’s how it was in the older version — maybe some of this isn’t implemented yet). That’s roughly how it works.

I can try to make this clearer, although im basically quoting the above text. All the shipsets are different. Think factions, not cosmetic.

"our choice of ship set is meaningless"? what the hell does that mean? they're cosmetic. factions? do you mean ship sets? can we use any ship set we want in a single play-through? (looking at photos) whats the difference supposed to be? better weapons? i have other mods for that. different ship sections? that's nice i suppose, but i already have a mod for that. your mod description doesn't explain anything. can you fix that?

@Krusher99 most likely they will hack it because if I'm not mistaken the description of the DLC about psionics also talked about new types of ships
