[size=20]Perfectly Balanced - Ships[/size]

The development version of this mod is posted on GitHub[github.com]. If you want to play the latest version instead of the stable version, please follow the repo and use `git pull` to get the latest commit.

(i.e., Not balanced at all!)

This mod adds brand-new ship sections, components, and additional ship combat tactics to the game.

Dozens of (stream of consciousness) balanced ship sections, such as H-slot Corvettes, X-slot Destroyers, T-slot Battleships, and more, offer more powerful firepower at the cost of armor and auxiliary components. The ships with new sections include:

• Corvettes, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, Titans, Juggernauts, Colossi;
  
• Deterrence-class Corvettes, Destroyers, Cruisers, and the Wrath of Heaven;
  
• Defense Platforms, Ion Cannon Emplacements;
  
• New ships for the Extragalactic Invaders.

To balance the energy shortfalls caused by the new slots, every type of reactor now has a larger version that consumes more resources but also generates more energy!

Additionally, five new combat computers and four combat modes are introduced, making strategic maneuvering (tactical retreat) and combat based on range advantage possible for arc fleets.

[size=16]How to Unlock the New Content[/size]

You need to unlock them through research. Standard ship templates (Standard Corvette Template, Standard Destroyer Template, etc.) provide basic new sections, while Hull Technology Tier 1 unlocks better sections, and Hull Technology Tier 2 unlocks sections exclusive to the Extragalactic Invaders!

Large reactors will be unlocked alongside regular reactors through the same technology, and the new combat computers will be unlocked alongside the vanilla ones.

[size=16]Updates and Compatibility[/size]

I’ve tried to avoid overriding any vanilla game files as much as possible, but it was unavoidable to modify the ship behavior logic files (affecting vanilla ship formations, bombardment tactics, and fighter logic). Mods that also modify these files may conflict with this mod’s ship behavior features.

For example, modifications that make all ship behavior modes manually controllable during combat.

If a new version is released or compatibility with older versions is needed, please leave a comment or send a private message via the Steam Workshop.

Compatibility patches will be released as sub-mods, as I have temporarily removed compatibility from the main mod.
