<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The NeoStandard is a collection of additional hull sizes that shipset creators can add to their shipsets and mod creators can use in their mods. What's the point, you ask? Well, basically what it does is it's like a matchmaking service - on the one end are the shipset creators asking "what hull sizes should I create in my shipset so lots of mods can use my pretty pictures?" and on the other end are the mod creators who are asking "what hull sizes are commonly available in existing shipsets so I can make my mod to use the widest variety of pictures for all my custom hull sizes?" So without the NeoStandard, you might have a Star Wars mod calling for a "DeathStar" hull, but a shipset designed for P&N might have a "BattleMoon" hull in it instead, so the mod couldn't "see" the hull even though it's perfectly appropriate for the purpose. With the NeoStandard, you have a common name, "WorldShip", which P&N can take and tell the user it's a Battlemoon and the Star Wars mod can take and tell the user it's a Death Star.

Tesco, I updated the AI of the Addisian and the Star Empire of Romii to made them compatible with latest Version of SE4 Gold (they weren't gold, before), research drones, etc.

I also rewrote completely the AI of the Infernal Realm that previously used the AI copied straight from another stock shipset.

You may consider updating these, to serve the latest & more updated AI around. Check the Race & Shipsets Thread in the Scenario Forum.

NM, I'll keep you informed for further updates, I really like your initiative, since now the development cycle of SE4 is at its end may be really cool having almost all the races compatible and tweaked for the latest Version.

That raises an interesting question. How will SE5 differ when it comes to shipsets? Are we looking at a few tweaks to convert or a complete re-write?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I believe the plan is to go with 3d models for the ships (as in Starfury, per its web site).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not necessarily - well for those that are stuck with 1.49 AIs and lower. I also meant just making sure that each race you upload can work error free in 1.84 Gold. It will certainly save everyone from having to fix these errors themselves!
