((( NSC3 - Season 1 )))

Description


July 2, 2025 - Season 1 - Update 20 (Mod Version 1.0.20)
New Save Game is Not Required
  • Per community request, removed the restriction that forced you to use one of the two vanilla Bio shipsets when playing a Biological empire. You can now select any shipset you want.

  • Added appropriate Strike Cruiser modifiers to the Fleet Composition policy.

  • Removed a very outdated starbase point defense weapon that stopped much better weapons from being equipped by starbases.

  • Fixed a bug where the Starbase Primary Reactor was not being equipped on starbases properly.

  • Fixed a bug where the Strike Cruiser sections were not using the proper entity names, which could cause errors/problems with shipsets (This bug fix might also cause some shipset errors temporarily until the patches are updated with this change.)

  • Fixed a bug where the Bioship Defense Station & Fortress did not have models for the stations.

  • Fixed a bug where the increased power levels for vanilla Reactors were not being used by the game.

  • Fixed several bugs where some of the Progenitor Offspring versions of the Bioships were missing their hull models.

NSC4 when?

Sorry I confused you. I was making a specific request for you to make it so that defense platforms do not get destroyed from battle and will heal from 0 afterwards. The mod that originally did this (linked below) is no longer in development and is dated.

What I intended to convey was that the vanilla ascension perk, eternal vigilance, does not support your mod. One of the things that this perk does is automatically build vanilla defense platforms 1 per 6 months on all stations up to half of it's capacity. It only allows base game defense platforms and not defense stations or fortresses.

So I guess I was informing you of one thing and made a suggestion in the other. I've also linked the original mod that allowed persistent defense platforms that showed what I was suggesting as a feature.

Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the response.

CaptainX3: Thanks for the confirmation & the great mod! I look forward to checking out the new Battleship options. FWIW only minor quibble I have so far is the Explorer. Love the concept, it just feels weird to me having a Cruiser sized Science ship when my Navy is still in their tiny Corvettes. Easy "fix" for this for me is to just hold off on building Explorers until I unlock the Cruiser hulls, but I'd really like to also see a Frigate or Destroyer sized armed Science ship too, that could be used for all the early game exploration. Maybe in NSC4! Thanks again & cheers.

Yellow - I actually did not realize that the eternal vigilance perk stopped platforms from being destroyed, I’ll take a look and see if we can give that ability to our platforms. I don’t know when it’ll happen though, we’re on a development break for awhile due to real life issues the dev team is dealing with.
CaptainX3  [author] Sep 15 @ 5:56am 
RPGHealer - Confirmed. In NSC, each ship class has a specific role (otherwise there’d be no point in having additional ship classes) and Battleships are designed as tanks for enemy fire in the early game, and in the late game they can be refitted to become very powerful ships against small craft like corvettes and frigates. XL weapons were moved to Dreadnoughts as the primary siege and long range artillery ships.
Yellow Sep 14 @ 9:25pm 
Probably not a good spot for suggestions.

Could you consider adding in a feature or a sub mod that prevents stations like the defense fortress from being destroyed? As in they get deactivated from battle but start repairing once it's over.
Your custom defense platforms added by the mod are not supported by eternal vigilence, plus it's not to not have to manually rebuild and queue them up after battles.

As a followup to my last post I just unsubscribed from all my mods, resubscribed to just NSC3 and UI Overhaul Dynamic, started a new game and used the Console to research_all_technologies. All the NSC3 ships seemed to pop up in the Ship Designer, with the Dreadnaught and Flagship in particular having options for 4 and 12 X class weapons respectively. But the vanilla Battleship still no longer had the option for a single X class, with the Bow Section options changing to Salvo, Artillery, Fullisade (sic) and Spitfire. Turning off NSC3 once again restored the Spinal Mount option for 1X. So at this point, barring someone saying otherwise, I have to assume that NSC3 is running fine and deliberately editing vanilla Battleships so that they can no longer field a single Spinal Mount weapon. Can anyone confirm this was the intent of this mod's authors? Thanks!

I can't for the life of me figure out why carrier or strike cruisers aren't showing up even though the tech is unlocked. It works on a test by itself with research_all_technologies. Am I missing an additional tech required before they will show up for fleet design?

Does NSC3-Season 1 remove X class Spinal Mount weapons from vanilla Battleships? I just researched Arc Emitters and the X class bow section isn't showing up on them. FWIW when I turn off NSC3 the X class bow reappears. I do have a few other mods loaded (all up to date) but they don't seem to be the culprit, since the X class *does* show up normally with them all running and just NSC3 off. I've already tried unsubscribing and resubscribing which didn't help. NSC3 seems to have been running fine up to this point too (at the top of my load order,) with all the new options popping up as advertised.
