<Obligatory 4.* check>

I'm not sure if it's fully functional, but it works.

This works perfectly!!! And is still compatible with NSC3

You sure about that crash?

I am running it with no problem at all

Even with a heavy mod load, this runs normally

Doe not work, causes a crash upon game start.

does this mod still work??

Update coming? Love your work btw.

With that said, thank you for sharing this mod with us, i really appreciate it!

I can see why you'd buff them because star bases in general struggle to keep up with lategame fleets, but i think increasing the cost/upkeep somewhat relative to their performance would be nice so that you can't just maintain 22 fully upgraded citadels with like T+X+3xH and maybe a Gun module for the point defense with less than 200 energy which can easily be covered by taxing a vassal while making your bases basically invincible or at the very least once you add defense platforms.

Last thing i can think of is that the heavy hangar bay module uses the icon of the trade hub instead of the strike craft module, which isn't too big of a deal but it can be confusing when trying to find it.

After playing for a while with this mod i gotta say i really like it.
I really didn't understand why we could build ion cannons around our bases but not as part of the actual base, and the fact that you can only build 1 T weapon module per base prevents it from being too op.

What i love is that the heavy modules give +2 trade protection range, which means you could theoretically fully cover a sector with a starbase in it's capital with 2 heavy modules, instead of 4 regular.

Something i am concerned about is balance though:
A heavy hangar bay only costs 200% as much for building and upkeep, but instead of giving 2 hangar slots it gets like 5 or 6.

can u please post the tech name so i can give tech from the begi

Is it compatible with 3.10?

"This mod is missing a descriptor file."

AI empires use it correctly?

All At War mods will be tested and updated on the weekend. i didnt play the 3.9 beta.

Update?

Doesn't work for me, past citadel it locks all slots i haven't built in :(

Update?

the mod works with 3.8

Is there any way to get a starbase template so we can upgrade starbases we pre-designed loadouts? It gets insanely tedious late game trying to upgrade and add modules to dozens of starbases that have dozens of slots. Literally takes hours to do this.

yeah it works fine, has a minor compat issue with NSC tho, cuz that also adds back the defense station and fortress

should work properly. At War Series will not harm any Vanilla Files and if Expanded Starbases are not using the exact same names as in here. they should work together.

Does it work properly with Expanded Starbases? it looks like both mods adding several similar things.

also just saw this mod, gonna test it out to see if it works with my other starbase mod. wish i found all these mods earlier, only knew about the planetary cannons one

At War Series should still work on 3.7.

Has anyone tested if this is 3.7 compatible?

So the Heavy Defense Platform has 2x the modules and the same amount of base health, but take up 4x the space? Why? They are so much weaker than the basic ones. Is there something I miss?

+1 On Starbases not having enough power.

Any chance this mod doesn't work completely? whenever i have this mod the citadel has less starbase building and modules.

haha duality of man

The last two comments are a perfect real world example of why you can't please everyone.

Have the decency to roll out legacy mods if you're going to keep up with Paradox's inhumane updates. Hope the day of fixing these mods is worth it.

Hello uptate for major uptate last version please all mods are broken thank you

Is this mod compatible with the new 3.6?

thank you

THanks for keeping this mod up to date!

Hi, i'm using Starbases Improved and the citadels doesn't seem to have enough energy to use the weapons provided by the heavy defense modules. I'm using other mods, mainly gigas, PD and Starnet AI, but i have put this mod at the bottom in the load order. Any help?

Will the AI make full use of what this mod offers?

What about other mods that affect the AI (eg. Starnet) or mods that add weapons (but NOT touch the starbases)?

Thanks in advance

You could always join discord if u need help. It should not matter in what order you have the Mods.

Having some weirdness with Starbases at the moment, but still trying different mod orders at the moment, but one question - If using Starbase Extended and this mod, which would you advise to put above the other?

3.4 has buffed defense platforms somewhat by the way with more tracking, more fire rate, more range and more hullpoints. Doesn't make this obsolete though

yeah it should be ship_size >= starbase_starport not has_starbase_size. so yeah.

Sorry, forgot to include the error:
[04:13:01][persistent.cpp:35]: Error: "Unexpected token: has_starbase_size, near line: 76
" in file: "common/section_templates/eac_starbase_modules.txt" near line: 76

Thanks for the mod. It seems that has_starbase_size is not valid in section_templates:
has_starbase_size >= starbase_starport

Vanilla seems to do it like this:
ship_size = starbase_outpost
ship_size = starbase_starport
ship_size = starbase_starhold
ship_size = starbase_starfortress
ship_size = starbase_citadel

Join the Discord and open a ticket.

this mod is preventing the hyper relays from working

if something is not working, dont be shy ;) gonna look at it as soon as i can.

can confirm it was missing textures for the Orbital Ring. Removed Heavy Gun/Missile Battery and Hangar bay from Orbital Rings, Added Heavy Planetary Modules on Orbital Rings. (looks like the modifiers on Starbase/Orbital Rings dont work again. be aware.) made some changes to the modifier on the modules. (increased modifier if you have the same modules on the starbase.)

Heavy Gun Batteries, Heavy Missle Batteries, and Heavy Hangar Bays seem to show up as huge turrents with missing textures when built on Orbital Rings (at least, using Mammalian Shipset)

should be fixed now.
