  **Courtesy of KSHIN and Lok we have now natively integrated the Impellor and Compellor XXL ships!**
  These two ships are absolute works of art and we're honored to have them included.
  We've gone over these ships to fix minor bugs, bring their stats inline with the current SWI version, and add support for the new flight model.
  
  > If you have **Dreadnaughts Additional Package** installed please delete it when installing this update
- Highlights:
  - 5 new ships; the Compellor, Impellor, Praetor Mark II, Sundari, and Veragitor.
  - Golan IV-class Battle Station station modules.
  - Updated to X4 7.50 flight model and SWI 0.85.
  - Docking collision script removed; All older model's docking routes overhauled.
  - Retexture and lighting update to many of the old models.
  - XXLs will no longer charge deep behind enemy lines.
  - Largest XXLs activate for AI factions 6-8 hours into the game, like SWI, instead of immediately.
  - Another round of ship and faction balance adjustments.
  - Derelicts, Graveyards, and Ambushes! New *potentially* abandoned content awaits.
  - Install size is now over 4GB smaller.
- Added:
  - Added the Impellor-class Battlecruiser, a firepower-focused XXL battlecruiser. (Model by Lok. Rigging by KSHIN)
  - Added the Compellor-class Battlecruiser, a carrier-focused XXL battlecruiser. (Model by Lok. Rigging by KSHIN)
  Both of these ships are fielded by ASC
  Available to be researched by players.
  - Added the Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser, an Imperial modernization of Republic-era Praetor-class. (Model and rigging by Lok)
  Fielded by IMP
  Available to be researched by players.
  - Added the Sundari-class Dreadnaught, an ancient Mandalorian Wars era dreadnaught. (Model by Jeroenimo, converted to X4 by Akin, with hangars by Boog)
  Fielded by MDW
  Available to be researched by players.
  - Added the Veragitor-class Battlecruiser, a Clone Wars era Venator-class successor. (Model by Jeroenimo, converted to X4 by Akin, with hangars by Boog)
  Fielded by KAM
  Available to be researched by players.
  - Added Golan IV-class Battle Station. (Model and rigging by Boog)
  This station is heavily armed and armored, extremely expensive, and intended to brawl with dreadnaughts.
  Made up of custom Defense, Storage, Habitation, EQ dock, and XXL dock modules.
  Blueprints are available for sale by all major factions.
  The Golan IV can act as all forms of EQ docks, as well as an admin module, for the Maintenance system when all modules are built.
  Very few fielded by the AI.
  - Added support for X4 7.50 and the new flight model.
  - Added support for SWI's custom bridge alert sounds to all ships.
  - Added new voice recordings for ships and other modules, 41 total.
  - Added cutscene voice recording to the Ascendancy Inquisitor gamestart.
  - Added custom map shipicons for All Executors, Praetor MKI/II, Kandosii, Bellator, Mandator III, and Allocator.
  - Added 23 primarily S, and a few M, class abandoned derelicts to the open world. These follow similar randomization rules as the Katana.
  - Added 3 battle graveyards to random unclaimed sectors. These feature abandoned remains of an L or M ship surrounded by the derelicts of several fighters from two factions. These are harder to find than Katanas.
  - Added scripted ambush encounter for the Harrower II derelict.
  - Added three Pirate Bases and a Scrapyard Station for Mandalorian Raiders, so that it is possible to increase rep with them. Still no faction representative though, they are just here for a bit of trading near MDW starting space.
  - All new Dreadnaught Shipyard construction plans featuring the new XXL dock, radar modules, and viewing platforms overlooking the XXL fab for each faction.
  - Added custom racial logos for Golan Arms.
  - Added equipment icons for several missile launchers, tractor beams, and gravity well generators.
  - Added equipment icons for several Executor, Bellator, and Mandator III turrets.
  - Added equipment icons for all 5 XL Station Batteries.
  - Added equipment icon for HKD, XX9, and XV9 Heavy Turbolasers, and XV8 and XH4 Dual Turbolasers.
  - Added equipment icon for ANHL-240 Ultra Heavy Dual Turbolaser.
  - Added equipment icons for all of the Bellator MK IIA variant equipment
  - Added vanilla dynamic ship rooms to all ships as some quests require it. Brig, crew quarters, etc.
  - Added support for **[More Rooms For Ships](https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/1240)** mod to all ships.
  - Added custom XL ship icon support for all **[Reaper's Ship Pack](https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/1321)** XL ships
  - Added Resurgent-class Star Destroyer patrol fleets to ASC. This ship looks too good to stay blueprint only.
  The Resurgent-class is positioned as the ASC equivalent of IMP's Allegiance-class Star Destroyer.
  - Added Russian translation by @.wersal.
  - Added Sith (Terran) build method support to all items included in this mod.
- Changes:
  - Disabled SWI 0.81's Surgical Strike behavior. It is sending XXLs deep behind enemy lines causing unfun chaos.
  - All XXLs larger than a Titan no longer spawn on gamestart, they will activate 6-8 hours into the game when SWI's "New Arms Race!" notification goes off; building will then take a few more hours beyond that. (in existing saves it is 6-8 hours from when DABC is enabled)
  - Adjusted all Mandator II and larger AI fleets to be used for sector defense and not be available for invasions.
  > **Developer's Note:**
  > The goal of the above 3 changes is to reduces instances where it feels overwhelming to frequently encounter the strongest XXLs. The big guys should be *around*, but not regularly up in your face.
  
  - Removed no docking collisions script, as all of the ships that required it have been fixed.
  - All ships in this mod now have a limit of between 1 and 6 depending on their power level.
  - Allowed all researchable XXLs to be commissioned for construction at AI shipyards when their research has been completed.
  - Repacked and consolidated all textures in order to reduce extracted install size by 44%; around 4GB smaller.
  - Performed a comprehensive refactor and consolidation of all mod files. Most every file was edited or renamed in some way.
  > **Developer's Note:**
  > This mod has been going for a long time and over the years it has consolidated multiple smaller mods. The result of which is a lot of redundant files and inconsistent naming conventions. We needed to stop and standardize everything.
  >
  > Apologies in advance to every submod that references us and apologies for any saved custom games or saved loadouts also being broken
  
  - Adjusted jobs for all factions to shift some of their fighters to equivalent strength L ships to improve performance.
  The large fleets now have 40-60 fighters instead of 60-100.
  - Restructured research menu. There are now 25 unique research items!
  Added Mandator Line and Mandator Divergence paths.
  Added much more text detail to each item.
  - Updated the textures for the Allegiance, Annihilator, Bellator MKII, Harrower II, Imperial Secutor, Mandator III, Procurator II, and Titan to a soft Imperial grey, instead of a harsh yellowish bright white.
  - Updated exterior lighting on the Allegiance, Bellator MKII/MKIIA, Harrower II, and Titan from exclusively white to a mix of white, blue, yellow, and red.
  - Adjusted [XXL] tag to be less visually jarring and obey faction colors on the map.
  - Revived and revised the SWI 0.80 main menu scene:
  Viewable as "Dreadnaughts and Battlecruisers" in Settings > Game Settings > Start Menu Background Scene
  Added Impellor.
  Added Sundari chasing a CR-90.
  Added loadouts for 18 ship types, including the SWI ones, in order to have visible turrets, engines, and shields on everything.
  Removed Allegiance, Annihilator, Imperial Secutor, Mandator III, Resurgent, Titan, and one ISD-I.
  - Changed both Secutor models to XXL. They are a little too wide for XL fabs when in sector and in rare cases crashed the game when the player is nearby.
  - Added R, G, B, O turret ammo type color coded text.
  - Updated Sith jobs to make use of their new ships.
  - Removed Imperial Secutor from ASC, as they now have the Pellors.
  - Changed ASC Annihilator and Procurator II to also patrol ANO
  - Removed Annihilator fleet from IMP and replaced it with Praetor Mark II fleet.
  - Changed jobs with two Acclamator IIs for KAM and CSA to remove one and include a Proclamator instead.
  - The Lusankya now has a custom loadout
  Features expanded S and M storage capacity.
  By removing its LR XL Turbolasers for normal XL Quad Turbolasers, it redirects that power to use standard dual/quad lasers instead of PD lasers and expand its radar range by 20KM.
  - Removed Annihilator from SIE. No more sneaky purchases for ASC.
  - Readded the 6 M docks and 8 missile launchers to the Harrower II.
  - Readded the 12 top rear L turrets to the Allegiance.
  - Readded the 12 front bottom L turrets to the Titan
  - Readded 24 M turrets to the Resurgent.
  - Added 12 S and 4 M docks to Strident. Converted to "Boron style" docking on all docks; docking and undocking is many times faster.
  - Reenabled collisions on escape pods.
  - Moved ANO Dreadnaught Shipyard from Bespin to Hoth
  - Moved ICG Dreadnaught Shipyard from Hypori to Syvris
  - Set Eclipse to un-boardable.
  - Added more tags to Bellator MK IIA loadout, so dark grey equipment doesn't show up on the MK II.
  - Removed duplicate Mandator III dual green XL turbolaser
  - Shorted all included ship names in the Ship Designer menu, so that their limits and type fit on the small window.
  - Changed 222 XL dual turbos on Mandator III from XL to L with a new turret name to better reflect their damage output. No change to damage.
  - In the Ascendancy Inquisitor advanced game start:
  Added warning that maintenance will be active immediately.
  Increased starting credits from 3 million to 30 million, since maintenance will be 2 million per hour.
  On the Extirpator, repaired 9 L turrets on the right side, added 10 cargo drones, and switched all red S turrets to green.
  - Updated L\XL\XXL gamestart to sort DABC ships into two rows, rather than 1.
  - Updated L\XL\XXL gamestart to move DABC to the left side of the map to improve performance.
  - Replaced dockingbay model (landing pads) and hangar wall texture on Annihilator.
  - DABC is save locked now and cannot be removed mid save. Removing stations mid game can cause quest givers or important ships docked to be deleted.
- Balance Adjustments:
  - Comprehensive credit and material cost rebalance to all ships. In general they cost around 10% more materials and 2-3x more credits.
  > ** Developer's Note:**
  > In previous updates we've balanced out the DABC roster's power level against the Executor, but not their associated costs.
  > All ships costs and build times are now balanced against their relative strength to the Executor, with the supposition that the Executor costs 1 Billion credits.
  >
  > Big thanks to aurelinoctis for helping to spreadsheet this all out.

Version 4.98

  Some highlights compared to 1.5 include:
  - Able to be freely added to existing saves. All relevant DABC content will spawn in or be queued to be built automatically.
  - Most XXLs make use of the new research system from 7.0 to be acquired. The smallest ships like the Secutor or Procurator II can still be purchased from the AI.
  - Complete overhaul and update of ship stats and jobs to be inline with SWI's standards. Most people will find this to be a much more balanced and seamless experience.
  - New ships like the Mandator III, Resurgent Star Destroyer, and multiple upfitted variants of SWI ships like the Providence and Lucrehulk Dreadnaughts.
  - New custom XXL shipyard designs for each faction. All major factions and several of the minor factions receive a customized station.

- Increased Titan Hull and Shields
- To lean more into the Titan's role as a Battleship that focuses on destroying capital ships, it can now equip Light Turbolasers in all of its S Turret slots instead of only PD lasers. It will now hurt a lot more in close range due to this.

Now compatible with X4 7.50 and SWI 0.85!

This mod adds new Dreadnaught and Battlecruiser classed ships (as well as some new turrets for them), Dreadnaught Shipyards, and Golan IV Battle Stations to the Star Wars Interworlds total conversion mod.

DABC overhauls XL/XXL ship icons, makes some QoL adjustments, add equipment arts, and adds some various sandbox content like new stations and abandoned ships.

All ships, weapons, engines, etc. added by this mod support Universal, Sith (Terran), and Closed Loop build methods.

By adding this new class of ship, XXL, above XL the goal is to extend out the mid and late stages of the game to allow for longer playthroughs.
5 XLs won't be enough to paint the map any color you want anymore in this mod; in the same way that 5 Ls would be not enough without this mod.

Emergent Content:

Added scripted ambush encounter featuring a Harrower II derelict.
Added 23 primarily S, and a few M, class abandoned derelicts to the open world. These follow similar randomization rules as the Katana.
Added 3 battle graveyards to random unclaimed sectors. These feature abandoned remains of an L or M ship surrounded by the derelicts of several fighters from two factions and lots of debris. These are harder to find than Katanas.

XL/XXL Icon Overhaul

Icons for XL and XXL size ships have been overhauled. The philosophy is that when you look on the map, you should be able to immediately recognize a ship based on its icon and icon scale relative to other ships.
Huge ships should instill the same sense of dread on the map as when you see them out in space.
All sub-mod ship icons have been designed with this in mind, and there are new icons for all SWI XL ships.

Tweaks

Removes Jumpgate Rings - Dreadnaughts need this to be able to go through the gates.
Added lots of equipment art for various turrets, components, and missiles.
Removes collision from Cargo Drones, Repair Drones, and Boarding Pods - No more getting stuck on XS objects - even smaller XL ships get stuck on these/have travel drive charge interrupted by them.
More small adjustments to LoDs, shadows, view distance, and rendering parameters than any single other mod. Big ships need big performance optimizations.
Adjusted friendly fire hit thresholds as follows. Kill penalties are left alone. When these ships have 100+ turrets it is too easy for an errant shot to cause a war by accident with vanilla settings.
- XL/XXL 8 hits -> 20
- L 8 hits -> 15
- M 2 hits -> 8
- S 1 hits -> 3
Balance/Implementation
Now that SWI has added three XXL class ships of its own, DABC now follows SWI's lead on ship balance and job distribution.

DABC's ships are balanced against the standard SWI Executor.
