We have uploaded the previous version of NSC to the workshop for those who wish to continue their save games before upgrading to this new version. Please note that this is only updated when a major update is released for NSC (that requires a new save game).

May 8, 2025 - Season 1 - Update 16 (Mod Version 1.0.16)
New Save Game is Not Required
- Boosted the slot counts of all Bioship and Offspring Bioship classes so they can be somewhat competitive with NSC ships. This boost has not been balanced, but is just a temporary measure until we do a full overhaul of the Bioships for Season 2. Please note that there will be some overlap in the UI until the UIOD mod finishes their new ship designer window, but it should still be usable for the time being.
- All starbase modules and buildings updated to work properly with 4.0.
- All starbase modules that generate jobs will generate 100 instead of 300 each, for balance.
- Public Markets changed jobs from Merchant to Trader
- Added a couple of missing/outdated icons and localisation.
- Fixed Offspring Ships not having Logistics Upkeep
- Minor code updates for 4.0.5 and 4.0.6.
May 6, 2025 - Season 1 - Update 15 (Mod Version 1.0.15)
This is a minor update that should work fine on existing games.
- Return of the Jed... erm, Strike Cruiser - As an apology gift for mesing up the 4.0 update, and in appreciation for everyone being patient and supportive while we fixed our mistakes, when you start up your game and reach the proper tech level, you will notice that the Strike Cruiser has returned as its own separate ship class. In addition, it has a new weapon that fits into the PD slot - the Hyperdrive Scrambler, which can target ships directly and shut down their FTL drives! At this time, the Strike Cruiser just has the sections that were used for the Cruiser upgrade, but we'll be adding more and doing more with the Strike Cruiser in Season 2!
- Fixed all bugs causing problems with NSC ships not working in 4.0 (HOPEFULLY!!)
- Fixed numerous other bugs and errors discovered during testing.
May 5, 2025 - Season 1 - Update 14 (Mod Version 1.0.14)
This is a minor update that should work fine on existing games.
- Added a new tech file to overwrite the individual techs for Battleship and Titan, to make sure that Battlecruiser and Dreadnought techs pop up in the appropriate order. With this change, NSC now no longer overwrites the vanilla Engineering tech file, which should drastically increase compatibility with other mods that make changes to vanilla engineering techs.
- Fixed a bug where the Explorer and Cruiser did not have proper access to their cloaking devices. Explorers will now use the same cloaks as vanilla Science ships.
- Fixed a coding bug with the Diagnostician job given by the Galactic Hospital.
- Fixed several minor coding bugs with NSC starbase buildings & modules.
- Changed the Diagnostician job to remove bonuses that no longer exist in 4.0 and added new bonuses.
- Removed several NSC loading screens to save file space (some are still present for troubleshooting purposes as well as because I like them.)
- Fixed a bug where localization files other than English did not update properly for 4.0.
