Mods reworking ship design

[Trishot]

I would like to preface that previous to me posting, I did search for something like this using various parameters. My search yielded no results. Although there are of course plenty of posts regarding ship design that a question like mine may have been lost in the sea of questions about what's the ultimate ship design.

With that out of the way. I also realise that a great many of you do not think Stellaris is the game for this. And I can definitely see your point. Hence me asking if there is a mod like this available. For it might turn people off Stellaris, which despite its complexities is still a relatively easy game to get into. Which, in all fairness deserves credit for its design.

Anyway, so the mod idea I am looking for.

I am not here to advertise for other games. But I low-key have to so I can give a comparison. Stellaris ships and their designs are rather basic. And, depending on which patch you play a certain ship and weapon pre-set is usually king. Torp-Corvette spam, or Battleships with Arc+Lightning. I would love the ability to design my ships pretty much from scratch. Which, I get it. You can sort of do in Stellaris. But I want to know if there is a mod that goes further, deeper. Or if such a thing is even possible.
To give you an idea.

I realise that such a degree of micromanagement is tedious for some. I am just hoping that there is a mod that enables such a degree of customisation for ships/stations.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for here, but I think the basic idea of it is that you want a bit more customization to your ships than the vanilla game allows.
I found this mod a while back, but never used it. I don't fully understand what it does or how it works, but is it something like what you are looking for?

Alternatively, there are several mods out there which add various new ship components and classes. Try New Ship Classes and More.

NSC is nice and all, but it severely limits every empire to having corvettes.. destroyers.. on down the line to flagship which destroys creativity, what if i want frigates? or something unique to some space faring race? for instance, what if i want to make a Hapes consortium ship pack, there are very few known ship types in canon for this faction in star wars so you see the problem.

This is one of those things about stellaris in general that bugs me, limitations where there shouldn't be.

I don't understand.
If you want to make a ship pack, you need to make some ship models. Your limitations there are your own know-how of 3D modeling and whatever limitations your chosen 3D software includes.
If the basis of your ship pack (Star Wars lore in this case) does not provide much information to work with, that is a fault of that basis, NOT Stellaris.
If your desired ship class does not exist in-game, make it exist (exactly as NSC does). Again, Stellaris has no limitations preventing you from doing so.
