Re: This game is an expensive coaster

Kagetora,
Just as a note; none of the mods in mod pack or my mods (ResearchDesign or Klingons, Romulans, Shadows, etc) actually give the AI an advantage. All they do is better optimise the way in...

Re: Anyone thought about doing a Taelon ship set?

Lack of ships hasnt stopped a couple of the other races. The bright side is that there is lots of creative scope!
