[1.5.1] Bigger Squadron

Ever dreamed of commanding a badass, full-blown Nelson-style armada?
Dream no more — your dream just became reality!

This simple mod increases your maximum fleet size from the vanilla 5 ships to 8. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. And now just imagine rolling up with eight man-o-wars and literally deleting an enemy convoy. That's pure terror – they won’t even have time to pray. And that’s what I call plundering with class.
Of course, it’s up to you how you use it, more ships simply mean more options – more cargo space, more crew, etc. But remember — big fleets come with big upkeep costs. Think twice before you go full armada!

🛳️ Increases your max fleet size from 5 to 8 ships.
🛳️ Midifies UI just to be capable of displaying 8 ships (no visual changes).

Modified files:
📁 Program/interface/ColonyCapture.c
📁 Program/interface/cannons.c
📁 Program/interface/hirecrew.c
📁 Program/interface/repair.c
📁 Program/interface/ship.c
📁 Program/interface/store.c
📁 Program/interface/storage.c
📁 Program/characters/characters.h
📁 Program/battle_interface/BattleInterface.c
📁 Program/battle_interface/WmInterface.c
📁 Resource/INI/interfaces/NationRelation.ini
📁 Program/dialogs/[your language]/Governor/Puancie.c

Why so much?!
Because many of UI scripts were using a hardcoded ship limit of "5" instead of the already existing COMPANION_MAX. This meant I had to literally edit a single line of code in every ship-related interface file, like the store, shipyard, etc. If not for this, I would only need the last three files.


▶️ Quality of Pirates Life required!
▶️ Mod is save compatible. You don't have to start a new game!
▶️ If you plan to uninstall this mod, make sure to reduce your fleet back to the vanilla limit first. Otherwise, any extra ships will be Thanosed. Poof!
