* Great News v1.18
🎉🎉🎉 Random crashes finally fixed, the culprit was Higgs in Prosperity. 🎉🎉🎉
The only known crash remained: that may happen is t-drive/t-gate jumps, usually after a long play session.

Conflicts with the A'shriari Challenge. With so many changes, most probably conflicts with other mods as well. Start new game, not Existing saves. Problems that can occur include but not limited to stations missing new items, quests missing new globalvariables, etc.
Notes:
My SFX volume is set to 16%. Some new equipment vol maybe too loud for you. Search for string "float vol =" in Data\Scripts\ to change to your preference.
Each test cycle, ie new game, is quite long, and slow without bug feedbacks.
* ADDITIONAL WARNING * (added post v1.13) THIS MOD DOES NOT MAKE THINGS EASY BY HANDING ALL ENHANCEMENTS TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT / EARN IT. I RECOMMEND TO PLAY THE VANILLA CAMPAIGN AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE GIVING THIS MOD A TRY, AS IT ADDS HIGH NUMBER OF BEEFED UP ENEMIES AND AT FASTER GAME PACE. FRUSTRATION IS HIGHLY LIKELY FOR INEXPERIENCED CAPTAINS.

Introduced type-C ships giving real reason to use mounted cam view.

Changed Glycon's description.
Bishop now has own description instead of using Paladin's.
v1.14 Enemy Gunships & Corvettes are phased out as they become ineffective against player. Now their resources shifted to the bigger ships, and these resources increases with player level. Warning: this makes conquering stations much harder. Can cause Geminipedia for ships not completable, thus this feature can be disabled at Hogosha.
v1.15 Sector security & pirate spawns now split into 4 fleets at interval instead of one big fleet, to reduce lag for low end machine like mine.

RDOG6 Changed ship: Prowess to Ragnarok.
RDOG8 Changed ship: Legionnaire to Praetorian.

* EndPoint
In Chinese version, there are many points where once you load the save, game progression will be broken. I have yet to find the culprit that kept deleted Game_Mode & EPStage globalVars but made changes to ensure at least named saves can be continued normally. These changes does not negatively affect English version.
Fixed EP5_0, EP5_1 non-progression.
EP6 non-progression due to Iolian defences stronger than Concord forces since increased structure defences. Fixed by increasing that also Concord forces that scale with difficulty level.

FactionSQ Bonus change: Trade stations give mining ship/recycler ship beacons accoding to player level. Note that these cost $ to use, hence somewhat in line with trade theme.

Corrected capture current research %.
* Geminipedia
Geminipedia AddEntry_Chassis has 107 ship count, but ingame 108 due to DLC\Dlc3\Data\Base\Geminipedia.wdt has non-existant ship HOBAS. [Existing saves: replace DLC\Dlc3\Data\Base\Geminipedia.wdt with the one supplied in DLC folder, open save file with text editor, delete HOBAS entry, ingame chassis total should become 107]
Added Scarlet to OnPurchaseShip.sal. Scarlet is now collectable on non-campaign as I made it purchasable at Reaper/Negola in non-campaign scenarios.
Added Geminipedia AddEntry_Faction missing factions: CWA NYXDOMINION for Titans DLC.
Added Geminipedia AddEntry_Faction missing factions: NUMIBIA EASTLAND TSWANA HIGHLAND only in NUMIBIAFREA & NUMIBIACONFREA scenarios.
Fixed fairuzKN to fairuzPLA in AddEntry_Planet.sal causing OTH_union Geminipedia not collectable. Fix works recursively to Fairuz-already-collected saves.
Fixed Legion not obtainable due to was checking if LEGION exist instead of actual Geminipedia keyname, LEGION_SHP.
Fixed Ion Storm Inhibitor StructureSort wrongly declared as SRT_AMP in EditorStructures.wdt, therefore could not be collected, changed to SRT_ION_STORM_INHIBITOR
Made JAMMER & ION_STORM_INHIBITOR spawnable in freelance Destruction. These are declared in Geminipedia.wdt therefore must be fulfilled, but only available in campaign. Note also that HUB is 1 of 7 possible structures to spawn in Installation Assault. Geminipedia for Structures now can be completed in any game mode.
Fixed WorldReadyForUse.sal to Add Ashriari once instead of Set all minor factions to Ashriari for regions around Mandate, which caused GHOSTS entry for Geminipedia could not be completed. (it also caused duplicate Ashriari minor factions). This fix however only affect new games.[Existing saves have to manually change region-zone-faction entries back according to respective game start file depending on game scenarios in Data\NewGame\]
Made all Numibian Geminipedia entries automatically marked as collected in non-Numibian scenarios, if DLC3 is active. Same reason as above, entries declared by Geminipedia.wdt needs to be fulfilled, as long as Rise of Numibia DLC is enabled these entries are loaded even if playing campaign; and also due to the fact that this mod uses elements from all DLCs, turning off DLCs is not an option. With this change, Geminipedia can be completed with what every scenarios. I do not consider this workaround as cheat because in effect the vanilla campaign has 394 entries, you still need to get those 394, just that you will see 56 Numibian entries as well. This works for existing saves.
* Tips
The very first thing to upgrade is not weapons but propulsion.
M10 The apollo will duplicate any enhancements equipped on your ship. $~$
Unless you are very lucky, you may find that you gain more by playing normally than spending time on repeating quickloads to get certain drops.
There is a hidden political-change sub-scenario that bypasses capital ship limit, but you have to work for it.
The order/how & when of which you acquire unique items/activate scenarios carries certain interesting tradeoffs.
Exp gained by a warmaster is divided by number of all ships in fleet regardless of if they are warmasters.
A programmable mouse is invaluable to satifactory gameplay. It eases the overly busy left hand. Everything became much more fluid with one, not only in this game. Personally, I put grapple and an equipment slot (decoy during battle or gas collector during farming) onto 2 of my mouse buttons.
For Other: Wormhole Geminipedia entries, enter wormholes 4 times.
AmbushV3, a variant of Distress Call, has chance to spawn rare anomalies.
