• The mod has been rewritten to hopefully wipe out a majority of the crazy bugs we had in Episode 1.
  
• NEW STARBASE LEVEL: Level 6 starbase, called the Solar Stronghold, is the next upgrade above Citadel for the ultimate command and defense base.
  
• NEW STARBASE TYPE: You can choose one Solar Stronghold starbase on which to build the Naval Headquarters building, which will then designate that base as your Headquarters.
  
• The changes to Strike Craft from Episode 1 have been reverted back to vanilla. (See next item for new changes)
  
• We have changed the default behavior of the vanilla Strike Craft to fighters, and have added our own series of Bombers. This ensures that AI and global ship designs use the fighter craft that can shoot at everything (bombers, missiles, and ships) while players can choose to equip bombers that specialize in attacking ships.
  
• Added NSC compatible ship namelists for all 8 of the vanilla races.
  
• All NSC2 reactors have been rebalanced. You should no longer run out of power while designing NSC2 ships.
  
• Added Point Defense stern options to the Battlecruiser and Battleship.
  
• Flagship tech changed to appear after Dreadnoughts, because locking it behind Titan tech was causing it to not be researchable by non-DLC users. So it is possible for Flagship tech to appear before Titan tech for DLC users. This can't be avoided.
  
• Fixed all of the "empty" weapon slot errors we could find. Let us know if we missed any.
  
• Fixed every localisation error we could find. Let us know if we missed any.
  
• ALL NSC2 asset files have been redone to be made compatible with custom shipsets. The asset files we have now are identical to those that were in NSC Legacy.

I just pushed another mod update to Steam. I don't have time to write a change log as I have to leave for work, but it has more localisation and bug fixes. Also, Flagships no longer require Titan yards to be built, since that locked Flagships behind the DLC. Flagships also now can appear after Dreadnoughts, because again locking it behind Titan tech was locking it out of those without the DLC. We also have hopefully fixed the Battle Fortress issue by lowering its tier and boosting it's appearance modifier WAY up once you research Star Fortresses.

Just some emergency bugfixes we threw together that hopefully didn't break anything else.

• Fixed the ship upgrade techs so they don't appear at game start.
  
• Fixed more localisation errors.
  
• Fixed a missing tech icon.

• Added code that makes the mod compatible with those who do not have the Apocalypse DLC. (NOTE: You will not have access to Titans, the Colossus, or T weapons without the DLC)
  
• New Starbase Building: New advances in micromanagement allow this building to do the same amount of nothing as was done before, but much more efficiently. (It actually generates a bit of happiness, influence, and unity, limit of 5 per empire.)
  
• Added new hull point boost techs for all classes.
  
• Added improved build speed and cost techs for all classes.
  
• Fixed the AI weights on NSC2 reactors, hopefully this will make the auto designer choose the proper reactor.
  
• Slightly increased building slots on the lower starbase levels to make upgrade progression make a little more sense.
  
• Added the missing localisation for all of the reactor techs added by NSC2.
  
• Fixed the ridiculous scaling of the Mammalian Flagship.
  
• Fixed the scaling of the Humanoid starbases.
  
• Many other minor bugfixes.
  
• Various other localisation fixes.
  
• Fixed various missing icons.

Emergency Bugfix Update

- Fixed "empty" PD slots on Flagship and Titan.
- Added the missing reactor for the Battle Fortress.

• Rewrote the entire mod from the ground up, removing a lot of the extra fluff that took the original NSC away from its original intent: ship classes. We do still have some extras in NSC2, but they're at least somewhat related to ship classes and space combat.
  
• New Starbase Module: Drydock - An upgraded version of the shipyard, the Drydock can construct multiple ships simultaneously and provides some nice bonuses. Limited to one per empire.
  
• New Starbase Building: Sensor Station - Increases the sensor range of the base.
  
• New Starbase Building: Naval Headquarters - Can only be built on Citadel starbases. Adds significant country level bonuses to the base it's built on, but limited to one per empire.
  
• New Starbase Levels: The old vanilla Citadel has been renamed to the Battle Fortress and has slightly improved stats. The new and improved Citadel starbase has been significantly enhanced to be the ultimate command and defense base.
  
• Frigates, Light Carriers, Heavy Carriers, and Supercarriers are now upgrades of other classes rather than their own separate classes.
  
• All ship section options have been redesigned. Now, every section is unique and has a different cost to benefit ratio - sections with more firepower are more expensive and sacrifice defense.
  
• The base cost of all classes now comes from which sections you choose to equip rather than being a static number.
  
• Titans have replaced Superdreadnoughts in the mod, and their build limit has been increased to 1 per 100 fleet capacity with no maximum.
  
• Citadel starbase can equip a single special Titanic beam called the Atomic Phase Disintegrator that can fire in any direction.
  
• Fighters and bombers have been seaprated out like they were in 1.9, to be properly used by Carriers.
  
• Starbases now have two more defense options: the Defense Station and Defense Fortress, each taking up 4 and 8 defense slots respectively.
  
• Flagships now have their own unique Titanic size weapon with improved stats.
  
• All class-restricted components have been modified to fit onto NSC2 classes.
  
• Ship Designer slot graphics overhaul - new colors make it easier to design ships efficiently.
  
• Fleet capacity soft cap of 1000 removed. (Set back the way it was in 1.9)
  
• Minor changes to some of the Special Components to fix broken/removed modifiers.
  
• Kitchen Sink renovated. No, we still don't know why it requires power.
  
• Lots of other tweaks and changes that I can't remember at the moment because it's 37 minutes to release time as I write this and I am way behind.

February 1st, 2018 - Minor Bugfix

Fixed an issue with the Guardian Warp drive not appearing in the designer for use once the player has the required tech.
