Does this work with 4.0?

The AI has extreme difficulty researching (or at least prioritizing) FTL techs at the start of the game. The great Khan has awoken in my current game and the galaxy is basically empty because no one has proper FTL tech yet. IMO, the weight for the AI to select the STL techs and tier one hyperdrive tech should be HEAVILY increased.

This mod seems to unlock the tier 3 hyperdrive tech for research right after you finish researching the first tier. I unlocked tier 1 hyperdrives and then a few tech rolls later, I saw hyperspace slipstreams (tier 3 hyperdrives) without even seeing tier 2.

Nice
Is this player only?

Ok, on the first glance seems to work fine with current patch. Though, I have a balance concern: "Eager Explorers" civic got VERY unbalanced with this mod because they have their special jump engine which is technically better that conventional hyperdrives from vanilla game and certainly leagues above first two starting engines from this mod.

Anyone tested it with the new patch?

@Fin Enarah The mod works.

Can you upddate it and add a descriptor it currently isn't usable

Should work.

@Haerzog Ok thx. I'll take care of it.

I am finding that my civilian vessels are not automatically upgrading to the Interstellar Impulse Drive

Thanks @Shio

Ja.

Does this work in 3.6?

also 3000 days is like 10% the speed of light

Imean you can be faster

@yimingtheyeeter3000: 3000 days is way too long. Shouldn't be a waiting simulator. I also tried to match the real construction time of ships with the ship classes here... such long times are simply not playable.

@Mr.nobodyyouknow83 Why wouldn't BTL work? Does Real Space change the drives? If so, that's a problem.

So does this still works and is it compatible with real space?

like, the early hyperdrive I litreally take 3000days to reach alpha centuari from sol

What are the travel times in days? Test the time difference! I tried that for a long time. I doubt they changed the static values. Maybe I'll take a look at the next update. But I also like the speeds.

it use -99% FTL speed thing and it worked

you can try to copy what the "The New Era" mod did

@yimingtheyeeter3000 I've written something about the topic in the comments at NSR2.

@1Fieldmedic
And how long did the ship travel to the next system?

It's always about 30 days, whether -99 / -9900% or -0.99 / -99%.
At -99 you still get display errors ... e.g. optical instant travel. The tooltip shows -9900% but the game does something different. Btw.. the ship_winddown_mult is also almost static.

In the old version I had changed the interstellar speed. If it still worked... I would have done it.

The ship got stuck earlier if a slow travel happened during the monthly calculation. But as I said, this should no longer be possible either, since static range.

could you change it to very very slow FTL speed?(like -99% FTL speed or something)

Thanks for the feedback.
The year is on purpose, precisely because the first hyperdrive variable appears in research. Also because you have to calculate that a user doesn't adjust the mid and end date. The year has been in the description since my update.

Just tested, influence is ok, techs seem ok.
Basic T1 hyperdrive is lvl2 tech, so lots of other techs in pool, thats why it feels slow to get them. Managed to rush normal T1 drives in 28 years with science-all-in, seems reasonable.
Btw the starting date is still year 2150, but i guess it only interacts with mid-game and late-game dates which can be changed in galaxy setup, so non-critical. Maybe change it, or just add this to description of mod.

Anyway, thanks for rapid response. Nice little mod for a slower early-game, and it is compatible with almost anything. (Me and friends have over 100+ mods in playset).
Again, thx, and keep up the good work!

Oh right I forgot to take the defines out.
Should work now, also with the techs.

And by the year 2200+ I havent rolled any other drive tech. 50+ years of game, 11 planets, tons of pops, tons of income, 4 traditions finished, but no vanilla drive techs yet..

This is broken. It claims to ONLY add 2 drives, but it also changes outpost influence cost to 135 and changes game starting date to 2150, and I noticed overall slowing of the game progress (tech seems slower) and some weird stuff going on.
