Version 0.5 brings 3 new ships along with bugfixes and improvements
Victory III-class Star Destroyer for the Empire (Tech Level 4, Star Base Level 4)
MC65 Heavy Frigate for the Rebellion (Tech Level 4, Star Base Level 4)
Heavy Frigate for the Zann Consortium (Star Base Level 4)
All 3 of these are supposed to sit between the last frigate and the capital ship of the base game. For example the Victory III-class Star Destroyer is supposed to sit between the Victory Cruiser and the Imperial Star Destroyer. In terms of firepower they are supposed to be closer to the capital ships and in terms of shield strength and durability closer to the last frigate.

!This mod does not boost performance!
This mod is not actually changing that much. Movement of models and particles etc. seems to be bound to the "game speed" settings in the options menu.
If you slide it all the way to the right it doubles game speed and all particles and models move at 60 fps.
But since nobody wants to play accelerated all the time I tried to change certain settings in the XML folder about movement speed, recharge time, build time etc.
Some values are doubled while others were divided by 2 in order to keep the original stats of units and turrets but at a higher frame rate.
You should notice that everything moves much smoother than before. But keep in mind that i probably missed some values.
I changed no animations so they are all sped up unless i could change them via an XML file.

Let me know what you think about my mod.
I know there are still things that are not properly adjusted to the higher game speed. I did not look in every single XML the game has to offer.
If you find something strange or unbalanced let me know so I can try fixing it.
