This is the HOTFIX compatibility patch for (-NSC2 Season 3 – Episode 3 – Mod Version 3.3.x-) and Aesthetic Cinematic Graphics

ACG incorporates built-in compatibility with a lot of other ship model mods like f.e. Asari, Kurogane, Strega, Sins of the Prophets, Protoss etc. that add more flavor to the vanilla ship model sets (like humanoid, molluscoid etc.)

Unlike those ship model mods, NSC2 is a ship class mod that adds new ships (like f.e. battlecruiser) for each ship model set among other things.

Since i also started to work on compatibility with another ship class mod, namely SCX (Ship Combat Expanded) fairly early, all or most of those ship model mods that i made compatible with ACG are also compatible with SCX – because i incorporated compatibility for SCX as well, when i worked on compatibility with ACG.

BUT i did not include compatibility with NSC2 if used together with other new ship model mods (like Kurogane, Strega etc.)! There is one ship model mod, you should be able to use together with NSC2 and ACG though and that’s the Star Wars Ships For Stellaris 2.3.0 mod (don’t forget to also activate the downscale NSC ship mod by Bane).

If you find other NSC 2 Downscale patches for other ship model sets on the mod workshop you can ask me if they are compatible and i will check them.

Conclusio:
1. If you use ACG + SCX + other ship model mods => mostly compatible
2. If you use ACG + other ship model mods => compatible
3. If you use ACG + NSC2 + Hotfix Compatibility patch + Downscale NSC ship patch (by Bane) => compatible
4. BUT if you use ACG + NSC2 + Hotfix Compatibility patch + Downscale NSC ship patch (by Bane) + other ship MODEL mods (except Star wars mod mentioned before) => mostly NOT compatible

Right now i can not guarantee that i will include compatibility with NSC2 and other ship model mods in the future because my time is limited. So if you use ACG + NSC2, you will be fine as long as you do not use additional ship model mods. I hope for your understanding.

If you want to use ACG and NSC2 together, you will have to subscribe and activate all four mods:
1. ACG
2. ACG NSC2 Hotfix Compatibility Patch
3. NSC2 Downscale Ship patch by Bane (don’t activate Downscale Ships mod by Chondrite and you will only need to activate star wars mod if you want to use it in game)
4. NSC2

There are two HOT FIX mods for ACG and NSC2.
1. ACG NSC2 HOTFIX (this mod) and
2. ACG Expansion NSC2 HOTFIX
only activate one of those mods:
=> if you use ACG + NSC2 =>take ACG NSC2 HOTFIX
=> if you use ACG + ACG Expansion + NSC2 => take ACG NSC2 Expansion HOTFIX
It is not necessary to take both mods!

With this compatibility patch ACG takes priority over NSC 2. Therefore ship speed, combat behavior, some weapon graphics and weapon stats, as well as ship scaling etc. of NSC2 have been replaced or modified to be compatible with ACG and to provide a more balanced/consistent gameplay. The main features of NSC2 were untouched.

I had to adjust the combat behavior ranges that NSC2 adds to the game (like flanking etc.) => all ranges of combat behaviors have been roughly halved. I call this mod a HOTFIX because there was only limited time i was able to spend on testing it. I am not sure if the adjusted NSC 2 combat behaviors will work as good as before.
=> Even though i reworked the range of NSC 2 combat behavior i did NOT replace the description and icons of combat behavior => a shown 40 range NSC 2 combat behavior f.e. in ship designer icon/description is not a 40 range but a 20 range now (that was necessary to be compatible with ACG).

Hence if you find any bugs please let me know at the comment section and maybe you will have to turn off the NSC2 combat behaviors in game if you feel like they are buggy. Apart from that, i think the mods should work fine together.
