Right now this mod is quite basic, since the mount of work needed to be done for components has drastically increased due to Paradox's change on how those components work.

Still, if you use my Advanced Weapons, you may want to use this mod or any other component mods that give new components to further increase health (hull, armor, and/or shield) otherwise ships themselves will literally one-shot each other.

It is not just modded weapons: it is fully Paradox's intention to make all ships papers. So even with vanilla settings you may find the battle ends really, really quick. This mod can solve that problem if used alone as well.

This mod is still heavily developed and may be even more imbalanced than my other mods!

So, here are four stuffs added.

1) Shields : Yes, very strong shields that make your ship no longer a paper.... to certain extent.

2) Powered Armor : It is more expensive and uses even more power than shield, but this is the top defense component you can obtain. However, very high cost and power may want you to consider shields on smaller ships.

3) Reactors : Adds 7 additional reactors so you can power all of these advanced shields, powered armor and weapons no problem.

4) Aux Computer : An Aux computer that generally enhances the ship. Has three levels.



-In order to make AIs to use upgrade, this mod has to override these vanilla files.
00_utilities.txt
00_utilities_reactors.txt
00_utilities_shields.txt

It also modifies these files from NSC.
nsc_reactors.txt
nsc_technologies.txt


If one of the files are overidden by other mods, it will stop function properly (for instance, if shields.txt is overridden, none of the shields from this mod will appear.)

Also, due to changes made by Paradox, the whole mechanism of ship components are very, very bad for any added ships by mods. This mod is exclusively modified for NSC, and without NSC enabled or using other mod, you WILL GET problems.
