Project Southern Cross [v0.7.5.4.1]
The ultimate expansion pack for the Royal Australian Defence Forces Mod Pack
I have now too many units to list in the Steam description, so I have now created a unit roster in document form. Please see the following link to see all of the included units I have created for Australia, New Zealand, the Socialist Republic of Indonesia and more so far – Project Southern Cross Full Unit List[docs.google.com]
This mod can work standalone, I recommend running it with RADF so you can also build out fleets using baseline units but it’s up to the player, see load order below:
- Load this mod 1st, above the RADF mod.
- Load the Royal Australian Defence Forces Mod after Project Southern Cross, as some of the content in this mod pack alters units in RADF.
- I highly recommend you do not run any of my individual mods that are marked as [RETIRED] while using this mod pack as they are now integrated.
There may be clashes with larger mods that alter or add large amounts of units, so please only report bugs when using this mod on its own or with RADF.
This mod contains a range of units, from very plausible ‘what-ifs’ such as an ex-HMS Invincible which was set to replace HMAS Melbourne in 1982-1983 and become HMAS Australia, a deal was signed in 1982 but was cancelled after Britain opted to keep Invincible after the Falklands. Another asset in this mod includes a paper ship, the cancelled Australian Light Destroyer Project (DDL), with the rest being concepts from my own brain and other possible ‘what-if’ purchases or upgrade projects that go with the units in the mod.
The idea of this mod pack is for fans of the RAN/RAAF to create interesting alt-history scenarios. It can be used as a resource – use one ‘what’-if’ ship with the historical RAN, or use a few you want to throw into a scenario, or go nuts and make a super RAN with as many units as you like. I have starting doing some alt history units for New Zealand and I even created an alt history Socialist Republic of Indonesia faction to use as an adversary force. The options are limitless.
✅ Custom and kitbashed units with thought out technology
✅ Fully fleshed out lore, with high attention to detail
✅ Perfect for creating alt-history Australia focused scenarios
✅ Ideal for including in alt-history Cold War or Pacific scenarios
✅ Designed to work alongside the RADF mod
✅ Ranging from realistic ‘what-ifs’ to creative concepts
