Description

One idea we have been exploring throughout the 1.3X series of the FXmod is the ability to customize units - not only in appearance (fleet color support, ship naming), but also in their purpose depending on the situation. Example: The Turret swap system on the HGN Light Cruiser.

In the 1.39 update we are further expanding on this system. VGR and TUR Carriers may now choose to build weapon system modules instead of their production modules, and the Turanic Outpost and Recycle Station can now choose to build either AA or Heavygun Turrets. With these and other options, there are now more ways to tailor your fleets towards production or combat.

[BETA TESTING]
Yesterday, on Aug 1st, we began the BETA testing for the 1.39 build on Steam. Users have already been providing feedback and reporting bugs, which in turn allows us to bring the polished 'full' release of 1.39 to here (ModDB) and our Steam main page sooner. We're looking at an ETA of late August, so stay tuned!
