About the Mod
Kleinem's Enhanced Ship Tree(KEST) is a ship tree made by Kleinem. While other mods completely replace the vanilla tree, KEST keeps all vanilla ships and instead adds more ships. These ships are exclusively balanced with vanilla ships. KEST is often used for Alpha Centauri Wars, a massive team mode event held by the developers each month.
Ships
KEST has a large variety of ships. There are 57 total ships in the mod, adding 25 ships to the original 32 from vanilla. It follows the scheme 3-4-7-9-12-15-7.
