Description
Overhaul your stock module fleets while avoiding costly redesigns!
Keep your ships operational during gradual modernization!

A catalog of high-end components designed for compatibility with stock components allowing seamless integration and replacement.

This lineup has been designed with following goals in mind:
  • enhanced modularity and standardization of components allowing reuse and simplifying logistics and training.
  • compatibility with existing designs allowing easy modernization
  • ease of prototyping and creation of export variants with commonly used stock modules.
  • flexibility and safety - nuclear reactors and rockets included in this catalogue are heavily shielded and can be positioned where you actually need them, and come with broad range of radiator operating temperatures that can be chosen according to your operational considerations.
  • efficiency.
NAMING CONVENTION:

The items in this catalog are prefixed with "STD-___" prefix refering to the compatible stock module. Physical dimensions are typically also provided as postfix. "+_m" notation signifies required padding for items shorter than original length.
Nuclear reactors are named after stars in Draco constelation (obviously).

NOTE:
The use fof this kit in both "licensed variants" of the DCA ships and own designs is allowed and encouraged (including sharing them on workshop) as long as the originals and their author are credited in the description AND (more importantly!) the modules in question are copied with user's own prefix in addition to DCA one (the latter helps minimize dependency issues and vanishing module bug and prevents users' own module deletions after downloading identically named workshop modules - don't be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who breaks other people's stuff!). Module edits are also fine (and can drop DCA prefix entirely, though attribution will be appreciated), but must be renamed - see above.
