Please understand that I made this mod using my own free time but I will never, ever, ask for compensation or donation of any kind. I do this for fun and I wanted to share the things I enjoy with like-minded people. This mod is not for everybody (read WHO IS THIS MOD FOR? section below) and I am pretty adamant about sticking to my mod design goals so I ask for your understanding if a particular feature or compatibility fix request is not always granted.

ABOUT THIS MOD
There are a lot of mods out there that add new ship classes. Some I find quite good, others I find excessive (too many turrets, too much shield/armor/power). My goal was to do the same while maintaining a more realistic aesthetic and gameplay that is hopefully in line with current section/ship game design goals.
This mod adds 5 new ship classes:
- Support Cruiser link
- Electronic Attack Cruiser link
- Battlecruiser link
- Dreadnought link
- Heavy Dreadnought link
Battlecruisers are treated as a medium/heavy variant within the cruiser class, with vanilla cruisers considered as the light variant. Battlecruisers are therefore the heaviest sub-capital ship class available. For the capital class ships, battleships are considered the light variant, dreadnoughts medium, and heavy dreadnoughts the heavy variants. Following this reasoning, there is no need for enabling techs, just increasing build cost/time the heavier the variant is.
Should bigger classes be introduced in the future, those will fall under the super-capital class and at that point, it makes sense to require a new shipyard level and/or enabling tech(s).
Click the Change Notes tab for details on each ship class.
WHO IS THIS MOD FOR?
This mod is for those who feel the current vanilla ship roster needs more diversity without making sweeping changes to the vanilla game. This is a very simple mod focused mainly on adding new ship classes. The new ship classes in this mod are very complimentary and probably as balanced as they come (against vanilla ships), since the new classes merely adds additional ship section(s) with minimal to no changes to the existing vanilla ship section designs.
For those who are looking for more than just adding ship types, there are a lot of complimentary mods out there that add new tech/weapons, features, and gameplay. It may not be my personal preference but who says you can't try those mods with mine?. :)

Thank you for looking.
