Lotus Mod - Starbase Rebalance

Description
The Starbase Loadouts are terrible. Current Starbases can be easily cheesed by a much weaker fleet with long range weapons, corvette spam, or projectile spam. I found this to be unacceptable, so I made a mod that buffs the the overall offense and defense while also varying the types of weapons to reduce huge weaknesses. The Weapon Modules also seemed weak too, so I doubled the amount of torpedos and strike craft they provide and swapped the medium weapons for large weapons.

The game has it's own mysterious way of choosing what weapons go on the starbases. This mod doesn't control what weapons the game chooses to use. But there are known ways of influencing it.
"In order for t-4 and t-5 slots to be placed on the starbase, you need to build three types of production of rare resources on the planet, then wait for the end of the month, and then, upon improvement, t-4 and t-5 slots will be mounted in the starbase slots." (Thank you Deviant)

-----Known Issues-----

-----Compatibility-----
-This mod overwrites the starbase section templates on only 1 file, but does not overwrite whole vanilla files, so it should be compatible with most mods.
-Just make sure that "Lotus Mod - Starbase Rebalance" is below/after any other mod that effects ship section templetes.
-This mod is NOT compatible with NSC2. If there is enough requests, I'll make a patch for it.

Yeah, this definitely needs an NSC patch. I would *love* to use these together. Pretty please. 😊

Need an update.
1) Change the outpost G slot to M (Now the G slot is not initially available)
2) It is better to remove the original G slots from starbases
3) Forbid starbases to put autocannons in the L slot (40 range is a death sentence)

@Deviant OMG thank you for figuring that out! I came back on here to double check that the mod works with the newest update, and updating the version code.

In order for t-4 and t-5 slots to be placed on the starbase, you need to build three types of production of rare resources on the planet, then wait for the end of the month, and then, upon improvement, t-4 and t-5 slots will be mounted in the starbase slots.
Now you can update the description (remove the paragraph about Known Issues) and update the screenshots (let there be t-5 slots).

Ok, thanks for the update. Then it works, just in mysterious ways. :)

@Botroas, I'm not sure how much the reactors even affect the starbase loadouts. Through testing, it doesn't seem to matter if the starbase has enough power to support better weapons, it just picks weapons almost randomly. I don't know if some else has discovered how the game picks which weapons it uses, but right now, it seems almost random. This mod just adds more slots, which gives you some increase.

Thanks!
I was looking for startbase enhancement.
Could you please tell, if I need your reaktor upgrade mod for the bases to have best stuff in those many slots?

thank you for your help
Artacool  [author] 24 Jun, 2021 @ 9:22am 
@PHILIPPE, unfortunately no. This mod is made by editing the loadouts of each starbase existing level. I wouldn't be able to add slots to levels that don't already exist. The only way to do that would be to take their mod and edit it to have more slots, which would be like stealing their mod. You would be better off just asking the other mod authors to add more slots. Sorry :(
