At War: Large Starbase Weapons

Description
Still works for 3.8, I am using it myself.

This is a fork of an existing mod - At War: Starbase Improvements by The Dadinator, and later updated for 2.6 by Kiithnaras.

I have made the following changes:
  • Updated to 2.8.1.
  • Made adjustments to the starbase type so that Starbases equipped with the Large weapon slots will be classified as Bastions.
  • Removed the Heavy Defence Platform. It didn't fit well when other mods upgraded the vanilla starbase defences.

Original Mod Description
==========================================
Do your bastion citadels feel underpowered when fully built out? This mod improves citadels, giving them large weapons as well as providing better weapon batteries and heavy defense platforms. Don't leave your systems unprotected.

Features
  • Miniaturized Defense Platform Components - a technology to unlock Heavy Defense Platforms which have twice the hull points and twice the weapon mounts of standard Defense Platforms.
  • Improved Heavy Defense Platform Hulls / Advanced Heavy Defense Platform Hulls - two techs to buff hull points.
  • Citadels now come with large weapon slots.
  • Starport Defense Algorithms - repeatable engineering tech to add additional defense platforms late game. Capped at 5 repeats.

Oh, I see. No, I don't believe that's possible. You could change the default loadout with a mod, but it's not currently possible to customise it during a game.

Exactly, so why not the main base?
During making your mods, have you seen means for star bases to be made fully customizable, like ships?

AFAIK, vanilla defense platforms have always been designable.
Botroas 8 May, 2021 @ 7:12am 
Right now basic def. platforms with large weapons from you mod are customizable, along with the other platforms.

I think TheMineKnight meant, that starbase weapons should be customizable.
I extend this wish to all other parts, like in ship design.
You can not choose basic base weapons, and if I remember correctly, you can not choose what large weapon do you want on Large Weapon Slots.
If I have researched plasma, laser and kinetic on same tier, which or in what combination will them be mounted?
If I have torpedoes, will those be always choosed instead?

I always wondered, why devs made ships designable, and bases not.
Also why can not bases be equipped with X size weaponry?
They are bigger than battleships, a fully upgraded could have even more than one.
I see no unbalance, when a fleet can have a dozen or more, and bases have no evasion.

Or it could be put on defense platforms, take up more platform numbers if needed balance wise.
Only viable with platform no perma-destruction, like in def. platform longevity mod.

But the point of this mod is that you build the Large Gun Batteries instead of the vanilla ones.

Mostly because I've noticed that Starbases are... basically useless on defense, and being able to more properly customize that, especially with Large Weapon Slots, would be awesome, because it would make them so much beefier, and more effective. I hate how the late-game is basically always just: Big Fleets crush starbase, hope to god you're closeby enough.
