I hope this gets updated as well. I tried my hand at it in a local file but even though I could get it to show up in the ship designer it kept missing components. Hope this or another similar mod gets made as it's one of the best.

Man, that sucks its not working, hopefully the author updates it soon I only play a new game unless I have this mod installed and working.

No longer works at the moment

Probably change the cover from saying 3.11 to 3.14 since it's updated to said version

Wonder if someone will take the reins of this mod in case it has shut down (no update in 4 months, not sure if this means no issues or creator left)

One of my favorite mods to always have in my games. Just wanted to thank you for keeping it updated even after all this time.

This mod seems to be working as of 12/12/2024, it crashed on first load but on second load it works fine.

Exception on crash: Couldn't find mesh "ap_01_military_station_large_mesh"
Couldn't find mesh "ap_01_military_station_medium_mesh"

[persistent.cpp:46]: Error: "Malformed token: @military_station_large, near line: 35
" in file: "gfx/models/ships/ap_01/_ap_01_military_station_plus_entities.asset" near line: 37

So this is how I found out that higher tiers of defense platforms were a thing in this game...

Apparently, it is broken atm, but I like the idea of bringing these back! The models alone were such a waste, its nice to see them back into action

Looks like something broke this mod on 3.14

This mod causes CTD at new game screen as of 3.14 release

Ion Cannon Rebalance这个mod是不是寄了

(Double dakka for eight times the slots and quadruple dakka for 16 times, IIRC)

@Parciwel
While yes, they offer less dakka per defense slot than ordinary defense platforms (only double and quadruple, respectively), they make up for it with much higher survivability. Defense station, for example, has more than triple base hull, double auxiliaries and more than triple defense slots. This means that with hull repair aux (this is the most reasonable aux for defense platforms to have), a defense station can not only (often) tank a titan alpha strike, but also regenerates health with at least six times the rate, making corvettes largely useless against it unless they are T-boats (which are terrible for anything except storming starbases).

It works, but from my expirience, these are not worth it. They are weaker than the same capacity in normal defense stations...

works fine currently

It also works at 3.6.1 (yes I downgraded)

If you update please make this a legacy version

Works fine in 3.9.
I thought Defense Fortresses were broken, as after researching them I only got the cap increased but they weren't available to neither build nor in ship designer, but it just took them a few months to appear. Idk, might be another mod's fault as well.

Does this actually need updated? has anyone actually bothered to check?

Will you be updating this mod at some point or is it now abandoned?

Update
！！！！！

Update

Thanks for the mod, any chance you can add piracy suppression to the station and fortress? The platform currently has 2. Maybe they can add 4 and 6 piracy suppression T2/T3.

update pls ? :)

I love this mod, can't imagine playing without it anymore. But just recently I have purchased DLC Necroids and Lithoids and all my defense stations in the game disappeared like they never been there and I have to research them again. Maybe it just problem on mine side only but it is still minor inconvenience.

@Voidfaire Wraithforme I'm glad you are enjoying this mod. Thanks to the original authors: @TOBORI and @DrBLOOD95, I only did some minor maintenance work to keep this mod going.

你好，2.0後的新船模不會有對應的站點和堡壘模型，對吧?請問如果使用失落帝國船模會顯示什麼?

Any future plan to update

请问这个mod是不是有bug啊，放在nsc2后面了，但是堡垒才6500点船体值。按图里的应该是10万啊，奇怪了

@lyndonguitar, this feature comes with NSC2. This mod is probably intended for people who want this feature as a standalone.

working with NSC? no conflicts?

@Jon Yeah, for balance reason

Is it wanted that the Fortress and Station now claim more Slots?

I hope these become usable by the new Orbital Rings once they come out.

@AstartesFanboy use the alternative version as a stop gap for now ... https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2275042074

@LRlicious 试试这个mod: Ion Cannon Rebalance

默默吐槽没有x槽。。。。

ok so, this mod has a conflict with designable strike craft, do you know what the problem could be or why they dont work together? The weapons dont show up for anything besides the hangars. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2267994781

@The Emperor's Chosen Thank you so much, Tall nations were we come.

They do indeed. @Punished

@breloom1994: Hey loved Ultimate Tech/weps, will this work and stack with At-War defense and heavy defense platforms?

I just tried building some of the higher-level defense fortresses, and it appears the game tries to use the lowest-level defense platform in a tiled manner to make the graphic for the higher defense fortresses.

it looks silly, but I don't care about that, I just wanted to know if the game would crash or not. so plz ignore my previous message

Hello! Are you planning on updating for 3.2? If not, I was curious, is it possible for someone like myself to copy and rename some files so the Tier 2/3 aquatic defense stations just use other models, like humanoid or mammal?

hi, does this mod support any fallen empire shipset ?since some fallen empire shipset mod using vanilla assets?

@KazeMugen There are 2 reactor slots for the defense fortress, which would be totally enough for the vanilla components. But if you are using mod components, it is probably the mod reactors didn't support defense platform class ships. Try this mod: Ultimate Technologies , and check the expand patch Ultimate Weaponry in the description. The advanced reactors in that mod do support the defense fortress.

hello I missa lot of energy, i need better reactor. its possible ?
For ship i got better reactor but i dont understand why i cant put it on defense.

I love it
Runs without problems and is very effectiv
Will you make an update for the Aquatic DLC?

@无水氢氟酸 You can use it, but since I don't have models to add in, the stations will look the same as their default ones, which will be mammalian ship-set.

@elitephoenix72 It's save friendly

Does this work with the Machine Shipset mod?

Will this mod work with saves? or will I have to start a new game
