Mod: Better hull designs for Human Corvette and Freighter
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2016 7:59 am
Hello, guys!
I am glad to share my small modification for this great game.
Some pics first:
Another day I started new game on Hard as Humans... and found out that Human Corvette and Freighter hulls has very small internal space. As a mediocre player, I'm really struggling making some worthy strike ship - it has very short ranged or is underpowered, comparing to other races' Corvettes. Cargo and engines space on Freighter is also very small, seriously limiting this class of ships. Of course, you can try to skip Corvette and rush to Frigate hull research, but this awful Freighter will be with you all the game long...
Something needs to be done here. Thankfully, modding this game is easy. =)

This mod:
- adds some cargo, weapon and engine cells to Human Corvette and Freighter ship hulls, making these ship types more useful and easier to design;
- does not remove any existing cells or change weapon/engine cells to other types, so this mod should not break any of existing ship designs and savegames;
- by adding some engines cells to Freighter increases maximum amount of Dual TRE engines from 1 to 6, thus greatly increasing potential speed of your Scouts, Colonizers, Tankers, etc. Dual TRE is starting Human technology by default, and I felt it has very small use in vanilla hulls;
- makes game easier for inexperienced players picking Humans race.
