seems as thought, in more recent versions. the marine juggernaught, has it's design thrown out of wack. (I admit, it may be a bug on my part)
in the design window, it does not have acess to a ship reactor.

I'll make a crude patch to remove the main two offenders, but some of these problems seem pretty vexing to fix given the AI's temperament. Ultimately the fact that one landing ship in a fleet can entirely erase the AI's interest in building armies can be crippling (and, to be quite honest, I'm not sure I understand the vision behind landing ships since they're just an extra expensive army transport). In any event, I'm not sure any empire particularly wants to have more than 2 specializations anyways, there's not really any pros thematically or practically set against a parade of possible misfortunes. I'm not sure how much of this can be resolved with fleet templates since the accessibility of these ships is inherently unstandardized. But that's just my stream of consciousness, I just wanted to let you know. Cheers, and thanks for all your hard work!

-Sometimes in wacky cases where webifiers are the only surviving ships, they can pin a small number of enemy ships while staying out of range - leading to infinite stalemate.
-The presence of landing ships seems to reassure the AI during a war that is has no use for armies, which sometimes means one landing ship repeatedly launching 1 marine army onto a defended planet hopelessly - infinitely stalling the war.

Absolutely glorious mod, I adore the erudition behind it. But it does pretty aggressively hamstring the AI. From what I've seen:
-AI accesses too many focuses concurrently and ends up with wacky fleets composed of a handful of vessels across 12+ different ship types, erasing individual military identity/specialization (+ its tactically incoherent).
-Sometimes the AI decides to make a fleet ~90% out of support ships, like webifiers or landing ships, leading to hilariously impotent navies. If these wet-noodle fleets meet the battle is doomed to become an endless mating ritual dance, as neither side can damage the other nor compel them to retreat - infinitely stalling the war.

@BaboFantasy
Oh! My bad ! Thank you for the reply!

@BaBoFantasy Thanks!

It seems I understand that "Hallucination" (NONE / NONE) is the specific implementation of the "Hallucinator" (M4P1 / M10A2) mechanism.I initially thought "Hallucination" (NONE / NONE) was also an independent ship configuration.
谢谢！我似乎理解了，"Hallucination"(NONE / NONE)是"Hallucinator"(M4P1 / M10A2)机制的具体实现。我还以为"Hallucination"(NONE / NONE)也是一套独立的舰船配置。

@焱淼
When entering combat, Hallucinator ship generates hallucinations.
These hallucinations have high targeting priority, drawing enemy fire and absorbing damage.
They disappear after a short duration and cannot be directly controlled.

Did I misread it? I couldn't locate the battleship named "Hallucination" (NONE / NONE).
Additionally, based on the description, I initially thought that "Hallucinator" (M4P1 / M10A2) was designed to enhance focused fire efficiency (similar to Deep Space Sky Fortress).

是我看错了么？我找不到"Hallucination"(NONE / NONE)这艘战舰。
此外，看描述我还以为"Hallucinator"(M4P1 / M10A2)是（类似深空擎天堡）增加集火效率的呢。

Got it, my bad. Thanks for the reply!

@Patchouli knowledge
Place NSC below this mod in the load order. That should prevent any issues.

@焱淼
It's definitely possible. In fact, when I first created this mod, that's how it worked. However, many users were confused because the edicts weren't visible even though the mod was enabled. That's why I changed it to the current system.

Can we hide the "edict" at the start of the game and only show it after the relevant tech is unlocked?

Sounds good, mind sharing your ID?

@TY
Of course! You’re also welcome to contact me on Discord.

Wow~

This mod is very creative! Can I get your help for a ship mod?

@Captain Bart This mod is probably balanced against Vanilla, not mods like Gigas. Gigas is great, but not everyone uses it. If you are that concerned about it, create a sub-mod, don't expect a mod author that is already doing awesome shit for free to cater to you.

@BaBpFantasy Giga's allows you to do some truly cursed stuff, currently I am trying to construct as much planetcrafts and Attack moon's to whipe a FE that jumped my ally, and I was thinking that I'm moving whole planets, yet I can't get another Mobile fortress.

Wow that is so fantastic to hear. This mod is truly incredible. Thank you!

@eqN
Absolutely! Randomly generated empires are also assigned one or more shipbuilding focuses. It's not entirely random - it's a weighted selection based on factors like the empire's weapon preferences and ethics. For consistency, the focus usually doesn't change once it's set, but in some cases, an empire might start with a small-ship focus early in the game and switch to another focus as they unlock new technologies. The trait is not mandatory and serves more as a secondary option!

@Captain Bart
To me, it actually seems even stranger that you can so 'easily' turn moons or planets into starships...

Hello! When I randomly generate empires does this mod make sure all of them has one of the new traitss somehow? I really like to have all randomized enemy empires rather than making a bunch of pre-set ones. I even use a mod to make sure I have none of the vanilla pre-set empires. Hoping random empires will also get a random trait for their ship type!

Quick question will there be ever an option to remove the ship limits? It feels kinda wierd to be easliy able to convert moons and planets into starships yet be unable to make more fortreses or nova cannons.

yup, works now. thanks.

@greatswizard
Ah, it looks like that issue was caused by a mistake on my side. Thanks to you, I was able to identify the cause, and it should be fixed now. I really appreciate you letting me know — and I'd be even more grateful if you could cross-check it for me.

been having a bit of trouble, i'm running with the Powerful & Realistic Orbital Bombardments mod, and it seems as though it's making the marine ships broken (they no longer deploy units when bombarding planets)
I suspect it may be because this mod rewrites the agressive bombardment stance as well as giving a custom bombardment stance.
just thought I'd warn anyone using other mods that add in new bombardment stances.

Understandable regarding bioships. If I may offer some ideas, bioships can follow different paradigms. Parasitism, predation, symbiosis, miasma to name a few applicable doctrine headlines. Parasitism is a more direct compare to marine, predation to large ships(Possibly even ones that borrow the cuthuloids devour weapon), while symbiosis leans more into the support weapons available to weavers; Whereas miasma goes the debuff route. Support weapon availability on more ship classes for those last two would be my preference, but I also know their ai is a bit wonky.

Nanoswarm and space fauna navies though? The nanoswarm has the swarmer and the interdictor, so there is a lot of room to expand. Space fauna are the opposite with a lot of different ships already.

@BaBoFantasy Are you planning any other types of ships? I really miss ships with torpedoes and air defense without unnecessary S and M modules

@kequilla
There's no support for bioships yet. It's a very new system, and since vanilla bioships already have their own roles assigned, I'm still thinking about how to naturally expand on them.

@PubEYE
간단히 알려준 것에 대해 기합스럽게 감사드릴 수 있는지 여쭙는 것에 대해 보고드리는 것에 대해 말씀드려도 괜찮겠습니까!

강습선 계열을 전쟁 중인 적 제국 다이슨 위성군 위에 주차했더니 해병대가 항성에 상륙 시도하는 기합찬 버그가 있는 것 같아요. 좌측 상단에 침공 알림이 떠 있는데 지워지질 않네요. 해병-지능에 대한 고증인가요?

Is there support for bioships, nanite ships, and space fauna navies?

Thank you! I love this mod

@frostdillicus
Thank you for letting me know. I also already left a comment on that mod requesting an update, but haven’t received any response yet.
If that part isn’t updated, it will likely cause compatibility issues not only with vanilla Stellaris but also with many other mods — and it’ll be difficult for me to provide proper support as well.

@ケイデンスKeiNodens
Yes it does.

Does the research adding corvette, frigate HP affect brawlers?

@BaBoFantasy

Tthe AVC revived project can be found here .

I think that most of the work should be done on the AVC side by replacing the restrictions on components from ship classed based to the new uses ship size component system. That's what I did at least to fix most of the issues. The advanced combat computers wouldn't show up. i'm not sure exactly how to fix that as my knowledge of Stellaris modding is very limited

Okay, thank you :)

@Taurec
When marine ships arrive in orbit of an enemy planet, they automatically deploy a certain number of marines based on the ship type.
This ability has a cooldown of 120 days.

How do the special troop transports work? Do I have to load them with normal troops, or do I just add them to an existing fleet of transport ships?

@frosdillicus
I also think AVC is an excellent and fascinating mod, but is there a version of it compatible with Stellaris 4.0? If you could share a link, I would really appreciate it. That way, I might be able to work on compatibility myself.

Well, I figured out most the problems with the other mod except combat computers. If I make the mod use the role based combat computer, the new computers will not show up on the ships added by this mod. Any suggestions?

Appreciate the nifty mod.

I am having an issue with the Additional Vanilla Components mod. It adds higher tiers of all the components, such as armor, shields, reactors, etc. The ship classes added by the mod are able to see the higher tiers of armor, shields, and drives, but are unable to see the higher tier reactors, thruster, and combat computers.

Are they just incompatible and its something that a patch needs to be made for?

Thanks!

@Tairanos I had the same issue, but the mod page tells you exactly what to do if that happens.

This mod makes the AI pretty OP early game since they appear to gain access to the special ships almost immediately.

The mod is conflicting with NSC for me, made all the extra ships and components from NSC disapear

Alright I finally got around to playing with it excellent mod, my only gripe is the fact that these ships entirely change the meta of the game and make the base ships (kind of) very bad in comparison, which by itself wouldn't be bad but this really becomes a problem with stuff like the GDF where you can't build them there and the fleet becomes basically useless.
