• NEW CLASSES: Superdreadnought, Construction Cruiser, Drydock
  
• REMOVED CLASS: Fleet Support Ship
  
• Frontier Outposts are now designable in the Ship Designer. There are 4 tiers that the station can be upgraded to.
  
• All ships are now fitted with at least one "special ship slot" that can equip a module that provides a bonus to that specific ship. There are 9 modules available.
  
• The HQ Station has been changed back to a standard military station, built with a construction ship.
  
• The HQ station now spawns its own automated defense fleet. This fleet is not controllable by the player but will automatically defend the system it is in.
  
• The HQ station is now equipped with its own jump drive, which allows it to be moved to any player colonized system. This is done via a Planet Edict in the system the player wants to move the station to.
  
• Building more than one Flagship or HQ Station no longer results in a happiness debuff. Instead, the second unit cannot be built due to the insanely high cost.
  
• EWAR Sensor Array has been moved to the normal sensor slot instead of its own slot. It also unlocks automatically when you unlock a class that can use it.
  
• EWAR Sensor Array is now available on 5 classes: Superdreadnought, Flagship, Sensor Station, Battle Fortress, and Headquarters Station.
  
• Fleet formations have been completely reworked in order to make combat fleets more effective.
  
• Added new combat computers for every NSC ship class.
  
• Added new 3D models for the Power Station, Mining Base, and Drydock
  
• Flak guns have been tweaked and moved back to Large slots for balance.
  
• Torpedoes and missiles have been tweaked to make them more effecive.
  
• Completely redesigned all of the stats, weapons, and utilities for all ship classes (including vanilla) to give every ship a specified role.
  
• Completely redesigned all of the icons in the mod.
  
• Targeting priorites have been added for all weapons and ship classes.
  
• AND MUCH MORE - Visit www.nscmod.com for more information on the mod's new features.

NOTE: The localisation file has been changed in this update. Language translations will need to be updated to include the new text.

• Added compatibility for the Ship Power Stations mod.

• Added compatibility for the Advanced Ship Behaviour Modules mod (which is HIGHLY recommended for best gameplay experience).

• Turrets are back by popular demand! They've been scaled a bit size-wise in order to keep our weapon options open for ships. There may be a ship here or there that will have a small turret on a large emplacement, but for the most part they should look normal.
  
• Added Auxiliary slots to all of the NSC stations.
  
• Fixed and issue where Point Defense weapons could not be properly equipped on the Defense Platform.
  
• Added a single Point Defense slot to the Mining Base, Power Station, and Sensor Station.

• Fixed a bug where Fungoid and Mulloscoid ship segments appeared Mammailian.

• Added the appropriate number of Auxiliary and Extra Large slots to all ships and stations. (Existing ships will need to be upgraded to equip the new weapons)
  
• Fixed an issue where the combat computer was showing up as the highest one researched. Now the player is required to choose which one they want.
  
• Removed our code lines for the Military Power numbers, as they're too high for the moment. Set them back to vanilla until we recalculate the proper values.

Mod Name Change

• The mod is now compatible with Heinlein v1.3 and should work without major bugs. (Compatibility with other mods has NOT been tested!)
  
• All of the "extra" species (Fallen Empires, AI, Swarm, etc) have been removed until they can be made compatible again.
  
• The new Spaceport upgrade (that gives 11 levels and 12 modules) has been removed until the coding can be fixed for Heinlein.
  
• Fleet formation priorities have been set for all ship classes. Your fleets should now travel in formations that make realistic sense.
  
• Ship designer weapon and utility slot icons have been recolored to make them easier to sort out.
  
• All ship turrets have been removed completely and a new texture put in their place. This allows us to equip the ships however we want without turret size limitations.
  
• Added the new slot types (Point Defense, Extra Large Weapon, Torpedo, and Auxiliary) to the ships where appropriate.
  
• New combat computers added for each combat ship class.
  
• Evasion numbers updated for all ship classes to match Heinlein levels.
  
• SPECIAL NOTE: Auxiliary slots have not been added to some of the ships and stations yet, but will be within the next few days.
  
• A few other minor tweaks and fixes here and there.

• EWAR Sensor Array is now limited to Carriers, Dreadnoughts, Flagships, Battle Fortress, Sensor Station, and HQ Station.
  
• Added a new tech that gives bonuses to Flagship build cost and speed. This is a rare tech and won't pop up until after at least 100 years have passed.
  
• Added an upgraded set of small, medium, and large Advanced Zero Point reactors.
  
• Changed the Governor's Mansion to work differently. The bonuses are the same, however, once you build more than 50 of them, you will have a Corrupt Government modifier which will take away a large portion of your monthly income (-30% to minerals and energy).
  
• New Governor's Mansion building image.
  
• New multi-level upgradable Science & Technology Center with new building images.
  
• Ship Class build times have been re-balanced to be more realisitc.
  
• All tech icons have been reworked to make them look more uniform with each other.

• Fixed a minor localisation error with the Level 6 spaceport tech.
  
• Fixed a minor balance issue on the Destroyer.
