1: More random events, since it seems that they happen rarely, even at the highest settings and allowed consequences.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I can look into this, but they would be much much weaker. (Via a Mount)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">LOL You can customize that race any way you choose. Even change the Race Portrait if you want. Just be sure to give any one who is playing in a PBW game with you the new images.

Your people accepted your offer.

As far as I know, the United Federation of Planets is not currently under any conditions that would make such an response plausible.

It probably should be altered, so that it makes more sense.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thanks, I will go through the speech file and make the corrections. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

DeadZone,

If would like, could you please draft up a list of Federation ships, sizes, and classification for the mod. Feel free to drop the Galaxy X if you wish.

Thanks. (The list can be 8 to 12 ships if you like)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure you can! Check the SE4 Modding 101 Tutorial in IIRC the Technologies chapter to see how you can do so.

Thanks Fyron, I read that, but that would require a major ravamp of the mod, and that is something that I am not prepared to do at this time.

Seems I might have found a bit of a bug: The Klingons have a cloaking device that (as far as I know) can't be penetrated by ANY scanner. Seems a little unfair to have undetectable ships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif . I changed the scanners in my Version of the mod so I can detect them, but I thought you should know.
