RIG Unique Shipset (Core) (Standalone)

For best compatibility, put my mod first so other mods, such as UI mods, load over mine. When I launch my other companion mods, RIG Unique Shipset will need to be first in any RIG list.

Hello. I’m Gray. It’s my great pleasure to present to the Stellaris community, my massive many years-long project. The total conversion, RIG Unique Shipset. A mod like no others. I think…. This mod is Standalone. It only contains the shipsets. People familiar with the older versions of this mod will notice there is a alot missing in this version, thats ok, dont worry, the items, tech paths, ascend paths, all of it, will be in their own companion mods. This is not just to help me protect myself from PDX updates, but also to keep things far more manageable. My god, my file structure was absurdly complicated in the previous machine age version.

In the base game, your choice of shipset is effectively meaningless. Avians, Mammalians, Lithiods, whatever. You’ll receive the same ships and weapons. Thus the same play style, every time. RIG seeks to change this. Pictured below is a comparison, highlighting a ‘meta’ build from just one (1) of eighteen (18) factions to choose from.

Understandably, when you see the true scope of RIG, most things won’t be compatible with RIG. You should assume any mods that edit ships, like NSC, are incompatible. While some ship mods might work, this mod is designed to be played without other ship altering mods.

To be clear. NSC = No.

Weapon/item mods should work with this, so long as those other mods only add new things.

As this mod adds logic to shipsets, there are a bunch of mods which also add shipsets. I am constantly scanning the mod workshop for other shipsets that i like. If I do, I’ll add them to the mod. Currently, only one shipset is compatible with RIG.

Additional RIG mods will be released that use this mod as the CORE. Substantial and wide ranging changes to the tech tree and items will occur. I also watch the workshop for shipset mods that take my interest.

This is a massive mod, I cannot say that it’s currently balanced. I’ve tried to balance with maths, but overall, I’m only one person. If you want to contact me directly about anything to do with the mod, you can find me on the Stellaris Modding Discord. Search ‘MorallyGray’, DM me. I could sure use the help.
