Just a thought but it be possible to create an edict to auto upgrade the already existing mining and research stations instead of needing to select them manually? or have them update to your design automatically?

Update today. Please check the change log as it's something a change.

This is a nice mod. MUCH better civilian ships and outposts. What I didn't know is that is also changed the starbases. It over-rode a mod I was using and that I loved.

Although your graphics are more updated, I hope you don't mind that I combined that old one with yours to get the old feel back (available only to me and my machine).

Love it! Well done.

Updated for 3.6. Only major change is a removal of the Guided (now Torpedo only) slot from Science Ships and replacing it with a second small gun slot.

For some inexplicable reason, the game is pulling in a different constructor hull style as the default that has 4 armor/shield slots, and no weapon slots (something from Overlord). The default armed Construction Ship is still there, but you will have to manually design your constructor with guns at the start for the time being.

thank you, this seems like the only version left that's up to date mostly and not apart of NSC

I feel like I saw a variant or different version of this mod along while ago that was just civ ships and did not include weaponized stations; I don't suppose anyone knows if it still exists?

Heh yeah I had attempted that and it was causing issues so I decided to try using the NSC starbase defines as a base and well it works finally thank god!

@AncientGatekeeper
I added this section:

potential_construction = {
is_scope_type = planet
is_primary_star = yes
NOT = {
exists = orbital_defence
}
}

Which IIRC I found in the vanilla files for the starbases.txt file in ship_sizes

Hi there were you able to isolate the issue with starbases being able to be built on all planets within a sector? I'm the dev behind maintaining the NSC version of the mod and have been for a long while now, but with the latest overlord update, you're able to build a starbase above every planet in a system and it spams when doing it from the galactic view. Any help with solving this issue would be great. Thanks again for maintaining the vanilla(ish) version makes my job easier XD

@ubet I seem to have generators for them.

@singleton30 I am getting armed transports on my end. Are you running something like NSC or some other mod that changes Ship Designing? This is more-or-less designed around vanilla.

So uh, any plans for weaponized Army transports?

Just a note, when someone post a mod on a public forum for others to use without fees, subscriptions, a "no share" agreement, no copyright, etc, and it has been abandoned by the creator, you are under NO legal obligation at all to seek their permission to use as you will. Now I understand that it is considered a courtesy to ask and receive permission, and it is definitely the moral thing to do to give credit, but you're not obligated. Just want to make that clear.
