Description:
MORE SHIP TYPES FOR THE CUSTOM FACTION

With this mod, the player can build the ship classes of all other MAJOR factions as well as the ships of the PIRATES and the MINOR factions in addition to his own normal faction ship types.

So combinations are possible such as:
Sophons with the affinity "Emperor’s Will" and with additional ships of the Riftborn and Vodyani.

NEW

Overhaul of the ship design templates.

Improved explorer ships with 3 probe slots each.

The Academy heroes ships can be designed and build as regular combat ships for the players custom faction!

COMPATIBILITY

The original game data files remain untouched to ensure compatibility with future game updates and with other modifications.
To keep the whole thing simple the extra hulls are unlocked besides the regular custom faction fleet ships via the faction hull technologies.

IMPORTANT

Since the game GUI capacity is limited,

do NOT choose more than TWO main faction and ONE minor faction traits with additional ships in the custom faction menu.

The VODYANI are an exeption. Only a maximum of 2 additional main factions can be selected here.
With more than 22 possible ship types in the fleet ship yard,
the game GUI is over challenged and only a few ships will then be properly displayed and selectable …

Traits for the armed colony ships of the Sophons, Lumeris, Nakalim and Cravers.
The Lumeris, Unfallen, Vodyani and the Umbral Choir cannot use these ships due to their different game mechanics.

NOTE

The old trait of the minor factions with all 6 ships remain due to compatibility reasons.

A trait wich gives 500 extra points for selecting other traits exists.

VERY IMPORTANT

You need the

DLC1 Vaulters

to use the Vaulters ship designs

DLC2 Supremacy

to use the Hissho ship designs

DLC3 Penumbra

to use the Umbral Choir ship designs

DLC4 Awakening

to use the Nakalim ship designs

Without these DLCs the VAULTERS, HISSHO and UMBRAL CHOIR ship hulls may appear as white 3D models without any texture …
Similarly, the NAKALIM ships without DLC4 are shown only insufficient.

Due to its structure, this mod should always be functional, even if it is not up to date.
CREDITS

to "Knyghte.Fall" for his idea to give other factions the possibility to build Vodyani ships besides the regular ones.
His mod "Add Vodyani Ship Designs to Any Faction" uses a different approach to make this possible.

Further thanks to Schtierlitz for trying out the possible combinations of the factions with their different ship types.
