Standalone Ancient Ships

Description
A mod designed to make the ancient ships from ACG: Return of the Ancients as a standalone version.


The ships/technologies can be obtained in the following ways:

1. Border a Fallen or Awakened Empire

2. Own and colonize a relic world

3. Become an ascended empire (Zenith of the fallen empires / Dawn of Ascension)


Please note:

Apocalypse is required to use the Aeon and Aegis ship classes

Federations is required to use the Aegis ship class

First Contact is required to use the Stalker ship class

Apocalypse and Gigastructural Engineering and More are required to build the War World

All of these ships have a hefty Minor Artifact cost, you'll need to get digging (or just cheese it via ACOT)

Special Thanks and Credits to:

Ajey: the modder behind the original Aesthetic Cinematic Gameplay mod, and the source of all the models and tech icons in this mod. He created all the models, icons and graphical effects in this mod, and you should really go check out his mods for other top tier content

Fragjacker: let me copy his code for the FE neighboring shenanigans

Bread: general emotional support, basically fixing the whole mod, and help figuring out basic gfx modding (as it turns out, it's pretty hard)

Garyx: Donated the War World model and let me use his textures

Chiru: Let me use his curator textures for the Sentient Metal ship variants

currently the prereq techs are arcane deciphering, modular engineering, starholds and destroyers

Yeah that would actually be really cool. What are the prerequisite techs?

@Salvus

Remnants empires do have an easier access to the ships, but you still need to get the prerequisite techs to unlock them. I can look into adding them as starting tech options though, it seems like a neat touch

Do remnants empires have access to these ships? I noticed I did not get the research option on my relic world. Also do you think it is possible to have them as either starting or guaranteed research options for remnants? I have been trying to find a similar experience to the ACG return of the ancients playing as a fallen like empire. I think this mod, combined with the Archeo-tech could be pretty close.

Do the AI empires have access to these ships?

Any chance of getting just the shipset as a standalone in-itself? Cosmetic only?

pigguh modding... this cannot continue

@Brother Skolas yep, they're balanced around them

are these on par with the cosmo genesis ships?
