General Information:
This mod is my own personal fleet formation mod for Stellaris. This mod was created with the intent to clean up the fleet formations and to provide a more cinematic view of a fleet.
I did not like the smashed together fleet formations seen in vanilla. I also found that when adding other ship size classes found in various mods, like NSC2 (*now named "NSC3 Season 1") , there was always lots of overlap/collision between the ship models.
I tried all of the other fleet formation type mods found on Steam and was never satisfied with the positioning of the ships. Either there was always collisions between the models or the ships were too spread out.
I created this mod based on the results of testing with the following ship sets:
1. "NSC2 Season 8" hull sizes (*now named "NSC3 Season 1")
2. "Kuroganes Expanded (New)" ship set in formation
3. "Sins of the Prophets: Stellaris" ship set in formation
4. "Vanilla" ship sets in formation
5. "United Fleet Shipset" in formation
I also compared many other ship sets and different formation mods that are found on steam. This included mods like Gigastructures, NSC2 (*now named "NSC3 Season 1"), or shipsets mods with fleet spacing built in. I paid close attention to corvettes since they are spread out a little more.
**I saw no issues with battle performance.**
