Please check the update log!

UPDATE 20250529

A new ship mod tailored for Stellaris 4.0, Special Ships: Shipbuilding Focus, is now released! It is fully compatible with Better Ship Behaviors and highly recommended to be used together!

Improved Ship Combat Computers and Behaviors

New Sniper Combat Computers. Instead of turning back and gaining distance, the ship stays at the maximum range of the mounted weapon, concentrate on firing its long-range guns at the enemy, with a very large bonus to weapon range.

Change the Carrier Combat Computers. With additional engagement range bonus, allowing carriers to attack with strikecraft while keeping their distance from the enemies. Instead, have a very large penalty to ship speed during combat.

Improvements in AI Empire Ship Designs

AI battleships are designed to be equipped with adequate combat computer, and to have the appropriate ship behavior. AI empire’s weapon preference and tech level determine the battleship designs.

Starbase Design Standardization

New common A-slot parts to Starbases. Gives Starbases a base recovery rate to make them fight more effectively in combat, and fixes an unbalance in Starbase designs.
