Description:

Expands and improves the Eager Explorers line of civics (Eager Explorers, Privatized Exploration, Stargazers, Exploration Protocols).

• The vanilla Subspace Drive has been renamed to Experimental Subspace Drive
  • The modifier to Jump Cooldown has been removed and instead added to the civics, so they continue to benefit from reduced jump CD after researching Jump Drives
  • Subspace Drives now have regular FTL capabilities, albeit at an extremely long windup. This is done to prevent you from getting stuck when no system is in jump range, as well as to allow the use of gateways, wormholes and the like
• A second tier of subspace drives has been added.
  • This is a rare tier 3 technology that every empire can research after unlocking Speculative Hyperlane Breaching (Eager Explorers has a higher chance to roll it)
  • This one has the same jump range as regular Jump Drives, but still has the same very limited FTL capabilities as the experimental version
• Eager Explorers civics now start with Speculative Hyperlane Breaching as a guaranteed research option

Compatibility:
This mod overwrites the four Eager Explorers civics and the Subspace Drive component, as well as a few related localisation entries.

Requires First Contact because Eager Explorers is from that DLC.
