Description:

I’ve implemented a few new things with this including a new dynamic cost system for ship sections. items marked (Adv) cost double that of normal sections.

A variety of edits, fixes and compatibility patches i’ve made, uploaded primarily for balance testing and experimentation.
If you just want the combat changes, try Rescaled Tactical Combat instead. I’ve reworked a lot of the missile and autocannon graphics and fixed some of asb’s current bugs, and will continue looking for ways to improve the experience.

Also, I’ve changed the number of ascension perk slots and relative technologies this mod provides. If you would like them back, I’ve posted a stand-alone submod that contains them.

Adds:
– 2 traits (compatible with expanded pops and XTE).
– 1 AP.
– 8 tradition slots.
– 11 ascension perk slots and the tech to unlock them.
– Deleted sentry array as a buildable megastructure to save performance.(can still be repaired)
– Various other minor changes.

Combat:
– re-scaled particle effects from asb.
– All the same changes as described in the RTC description.
– Adjusted ai weights to focus more on larger ship classes as the game progresses.
– Adjusted ai economic plans to help focus more on alloy production. (* Note: for compatibility with starnet/startech or any other AI mods that overwrite vanilla economic plans, load below this mod to make sure it overwrites this change.*)
– Lowered hull and armor regen values from components in order to cut back on the number of stalemates.
– Probably a few other things that I can’t remember.

Known Issues:
– Localisation.
– Missing and placeholder icons that were ripped from other mods. I intend to replace them eventually, but one of the traits uses an icon from Diagrapher’s Trait Mod, by Kuyan-judith, the AP and one technology uses icons from One More Civic Slot mods by Groob, and other technologies use icons from UIOD sub mods by Orrie.

Compatibility:
– requires UIOD, Real Space, System Scale, and Ships in Scaling(Hard or Lite)
– Includes compatibility patches for all mods on the list below, let me know if I missed anything
– Integrated graphical compatibility for Guilli’s Ship Components.
– Compatibility patch available for Guilli’s Ship Components.
– Compatibility patch available for Starnet.
– not Ironman/Achievement compatible

Tentative Recommended Load Order:
– UIOD (Required) + any sub-mods that don’t edit Ascension Perk or Tradition slot count.
– Xenology : Traits Expansion (Recommended)
– Simple Traditions (Highly Recommended)
– Ascension Perks Broadened (Highly Recommended)
– More Events Mod (Recommended)
– Expanded Mod Collection (Recommended)
– Defense Fortress (optional)
– GSC (optional)
– Amazing Space Battles (Required)
– Real Space (Required)
– Real Space – System Scale (Required)
– Real Space – Ships in Scaling(Hard or Lite)(Required)
– Fleet Formation Mod (Recommended)
– Cinematic Camera (optional)
– This Mod(Required)
– Any mods you use that change the number of traditions or Ascension Perks you can have.
– Load any AI mods you use below this mod.

I’ll look at parsing this out into stand-alone content with less dependencies in the future.
