Description:
Special Ships : Shipbuilding Focus

Special Ships: Shipbuilding Focus is a mod that adds unique ships to Stellaris, enhancing the strategic and tactical depth of space battles.

Rather than simply introducing bigger ships, this mod adds a variety of specialized vessels to enrich your fleet combat experience.
Here[forum.paradoxplaza.com] is the detailed information about the ships added by the mod.

UPDATE 202506231

1. Hallucination ships now absorb enemy attacks more effectively.
– Changed so that each hallucination ship only generates one hallucination.
– Hallucination HP has been increased.

2. AI empires will now use more special ships and fewer regular ships (especially corvettes and destroyers).

3. Improved compatibility with other mods, including ACOT.

Existing save files can still be used after this update.

Over 20 New Unique Ships

With seven different Shipbuilding Focus edicts, you can access more than 20 new types of special ships.
You may choose to activate only a few edicts to focus on certain ship types—or pay greater costs to unlock them all and form a powerful, well-rounded fleet.

The Carrier Focus lets you build advanced carriers equipped with powerful strike craft.
The Missile Focus enables ultra-long-range missile ships that outperform conventional missile vessels.
The Heavy Armor Focus provides heavily armored ships that crush enemy firepower.
The Small Ship Focus offers versatile early-game ships to dominate early wars.
The Large Ship Focus grants access to colossal warships with devastating firepower.
The Marine Focus allows you to deploy specialized troop carriers for planetary invasions.
The Fortification Focus introduces space mines, mobile fortresses, and even a massive interstellar cannon.

These edicts become available once you finish researching Destroyers.
Detailed tooltips in-game provide full information on each ship and its abilities.

Full AI Integration

=

AI empires fully understand all of this mod’s content and engage in combat with uniquely themed fleets based on their individual preferences.
If you want, you can use starting species traits to lock a specific shipbuilding focus for a custom AI empire.

High Compatibility

Fully compatible with Better Ship Behaviors, and using them together is highly recommended.
It is also fully compatible with NSC, ESC NEXT, ASB, ACOT, Gigastructure, and all shipset mods.
To use it with Real Space Ships in Scaling, apply this compatibility patch.
All compatible mods must be placed above this mod in the Paradox Launcher mod list.
However, NSC, ESC NEXT, and their addons must be placed below this mod.

Language Support

Shipbuilding Focus supports all Stellaris official languages, but in English.
