Update:

I have recently removed some of the extra gameplay features from the mod including the prescripted empire, armies, and starting system and have placed them into a patch. You can find it in the dependencies link. It is not required for this mod to function properly.

This mod now only contains the shipset, portraits, citysets, and other graphical features.

New Update 4/21/2020

- Using the Novus civic now unlocks a new policy branch "Novus Patch Flow Network" based on Novus' patch system from the game.
- Introduces 10 new patch alternatives (including a default setting):

1. Backup Systems - Increases army health and ship hull
2. Coolant Boost - Increases ship weapon damage
3. Emergency Flow - Increases monthly energy production
4. Optimized Assembly - Increases army build speed and pop assembly speed
5. Optimized Collection - Increases monthly mineral production
6. Overclocking - Increases ship fire-rate and speed while decreasing ship shield strength
7. Radiation Shielding - Increases ship shield strength
8. Spectrum Cycle - Increases ship sensor range
9. Viral Cascade - Increases ship shield penetration and evasion
10. Visual Amplifier - Increases ship weapon range

- Due to the changes, I removed some modifiers from the civic itself.
- The modifiers from the policies are not final and are subject to change. I'm open to feedback on this.

-Small Update-

- Fixed an issue with the droppod model.

Update 4/4/2020

- Added voice greetings to all Novus portraits including the Founder, Viktor, Ohm Robots, etc.

Update 4/2/2020

- Added NSC compatibility-

- Due to the limited number of space-worthy models available for Novus, I had to use the same model a few times (I'm not a modder so I can't make new models). However, I tried to change the ship model a bit so it doesn't look the same for each class.

- Should cover all nsc ship classes, but if you find something missing, let me know.

Update 3/30/2020

- Added a Prescripted Empire for Novus (currently set to "yes" instead of "always" for spawning which means it may sometimes spawn in-game, but not every time). If you want a forced spawn, you'll have to create a new empire design by editing the Prescripted Novus empire and saving it with your changes.
