-due to docking capacity rebalance: players who have savegames with S ships loaded into modded ships are advised to load the savegame in 5.10 with the previous version of the mod, undock the ships, save, updated the game and TC mod to 6.0 and load the game then. Otherwise the ships will be lost/stuck. Miyagi and Akita are exceptions to this (they retained 40 docking capacity).


This mod aims to add a new class of ships to the game - cruisers. Cruisers are meant to provide the player with a middle-ground between destroyers and battleships. They are fast and durable but lack the powerful forward weaponry of other L and XL ships, instead relying on large turrets. They have decent S ships docking capabilities and a large crew component which makes them competent at boarding and mining protection operations.

FOR VRO USERS: use the VRO submod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2800018886 .

-Miyagi, Light Cruiser, Terran Protectorate

-Okayama, Heavy Cruiser, Terran Protectorate
-Kagawa, Battlecruiser, Terran Protectorate
-Nagano, Medium Cruiser, Segaris Pioneers
-Akita, Light Cruiser, Segaris Pioneers

Bonus ships:
-Yokohama, Destroyer, Terran Protectorate
-Kumamoto, Strike Destroyer, Terran Protectorate
-Scabbard, Boarding Frigate, Segaris Pioneers

-Shizuoka, Heavy Freighter, Segaris Pioneers
-Fu'kuoka, Armed Freighter, Terran Protectorate
-Hakodate, Mineral Miner, Segaris Pioneers
-Toyama, Gas Miner, Segaris Pioneers


NOTES:
-AI factions should now be able to build some of the ships and employ them in their fleets.
-Player can buy the ships at the terran shipyards and the ship's blueprint at the faction representative.
-The ships were tested for vanillia game only. Might be unbalanced/underpowered for heavily modded games.
-I plan on adding several ships for each faction in this mod, starting with Terran Protectorate and the Segaris Pioneers.

WHAT IS PLANNED:
-Cruisers and carriers for the other factions. The exact composition will be shaped by balancing needs, but an average of 3 per major faction is planned. Some ships will be used by the faction AI and some will be player-owned only due to necessities of game balance.
