Stellar Fortress (for 1.9.x)

Stellar Fortress The mod tries to make all 3 tiers of military stations useful until end game, while keeping things balanced with an 4:1 resource ratio in mind. I found it annoying that in this strategy game you can not fortify important locations properly. While military stations can barely keep up until early mid game, they get more and more useless. In late game all the fortresses I had spammed near my borders could not even slow down attackers anymore. Enter Stellar Fortress, here is what it does: fortresses and battle stations can use XL weapons, though the latter only to a limited degree there are special versions of all XL-weapons (+ 2 additional ones) which can fire 360° these heavy XL weapons do more damage and have higher range (to counter the dps spread of stations) heavy XL weapons require so much energy that they can not be used on ships fortresses have a new main reactor on the right side to offset the high power demand of XLs all 3 military stations have a new slot for structure upgrade based on armor tech there is an improved version of all sections available which rawly doubles the number of slots the new fortress sections are even more powerful the new bigger sections get only unlocked when fortresses are researched torpedos can be used by stations the maxmium strengh a fully upgraded fortress can have is over 600k and will cost about 100k you can only build one fortress per system but several smaller stations localisation files for English and German Also see the change log. Hints: while a fully upgraded fortress may even be able to stop endgame invasions, they are not exactly cheap use defense platforms and battle stations like you used fortresses before a platform can get nearly as strong a fortress in vanilla for about the same price a fully upgraded battle station can get a power score of up to 120k and be quite an obstacle even to smaller late game fleets a fortress should only be installed in home world systems and such if you can't build a
