- Got rid of the misleading credits readme file since now there is a dedicated credits page here on Steam that lists out all the models and their appropriate authors (it can be found through a link at the bottom of this mod's description)

New Models:

- Twin-Well Immobilizer, brought over from the Rebel shipset for use as a Strike Cruiser option

Removed Models:

- Nebulon B (had no plans to use this model)

Roster Changes:

- Medium Defense Station now once again uses the Golan II model
- Large Defense Station now once again uses the Golan III model
- Strike Cruiser Mid M3 now uses the Twin-Well Immobilizer model
- Battlecruiser Bow M2 now uses the Gladiator Star Destroyer model

- Fixed Tie-Scout textures
- Fixed errors related to the lights texture on the Starbase Line
- Removed the wording related to a "working" and "working_looping" animation on the construction ship that does not exist, This should hopefully fix any issues related to the infamous 80% loading crash Mac and Linux users have been getting after 3.6

Well... this will be the last time I make assumptions regarding NSC updates

- Added support for the reintroduction of the medium and large defense platforms, for now they will all use the standard Golan I model rather than working on re-enabling the Golan II and III models. This is because I intend to rework defense platforms for all my sets in the coming future.

- Updated to Stellaris 3.6

Minor Fixes:

- Fixed final explosion locator of the death animation sequences for corvettes and civilian ships
- Removed redundant NSC related weapon locator from the Sentinel transport
- Adjusted weapon locators on the CR90 and CR90H

Some Hotfixes:

- Fixed incorrect weapon locator names on the Level 5 Starbase model
- Fixed the idle ambient sound for all ships that use the Titan ambient
- Removed redundant wording in the habitat loaders referring to animations that do not exist

Complete Cleanup:

- Ship death sequence setups have been cleaned up with the removal of effects that do not appear to do anything in-game, these include the "Keep Particle" command for effects and the "Ship Air Vent Particle" effect. Overall, this should make the death sequence setups much more clean looking and easier to customize in the future.

NSC Specific:

- Swapped the models of Strike Cruisers, the Gladiator is now the Mid M3 section and the Immobilizer 418 is now the Mid M2S2 section
- Swapped the models of Battlecruisers, the Victory I is now the Bow L1 / Bow M2 sections and the Victory II is now the Bow M1S2 section

- Fix for the raider corvette texture

- Updated to Stellaris 3.5
- All ship meshes have been reworked with new locators for weapons and ship explosions (that happen when the ship is destroyed)
- Added proper invisible weapons meshes for all ship classes where applicable
- Added proper explosion and burning sequences to the death animations of all ships (and even some stations as well), most ships even have multiple variations of such!
- Added engine locators and effects to the Sentinal Transport

NSC2 Specific:

- Tonn-Falk is now a cruiser option, was formerly an escort carrier option
- KDY Escort Carrier have been taken off the lineup for now
- Unfortunately due to how the Flagship is now set up, only 2 models are able to be picked which means RIP Assertor Dreadnought and RIP Bellator Dreadnought, they have been taken off the lineup for now
- Rewrote many of the the ship setups to adjust the mod to how Season 7 as a whole is set up
- Most importantly, all ships that use more than 3 sections (battlecruiser, dreadnought, carrier, exploration cruiser, and flagship) now use the bow section as the model selector rather than the first mid section. This is due to mid sections being consolidated rather than separate.
- Added a reference read-me file for the setup of the engines for disused ships (such as the Assertor) so that they can easily be re-added if they are able to.

Removed Models:

- Basically all of the disused locator meshes leftover from when this mod was created based on the original Empire Ships mod. None of them worked by now anyways and were not even being used. As with the rest of these shipsets I will soon be creating new locator meshes that properly function with vanilla (or NSC depending on the mod) as I already have with the Starbases.

- Added reference/read-me file for credits of models used in this mod

- Increased the size of the Y8 construction ship to be the same as the one in the Rebel Shipset
