Thank you Atraikius that was exactly the problem. I had selected the TDM mod in the launcher and the save game, but I didn't select the TDM mod, load the mod, then load the saved game. Although I must admit I was having fun looking at all the other ship designs.
And again thank you Imperator Fyron, I will endevour to keep my Posts in the correct threads.
Since this is what we want for SE V...
1) It would be really nice to have a scripting language for the AI's so you could write your own "intellegence" for the AI. This way you could determine what the AI would want to do and the order to do it. Yes this is a very complex undertaking (Stars! Supernova was attempting it with their RDL (?) language). I guess you would need two sets, one for the strategic AI, one for the tactical AI. I have done AI programming in the past so I have an interest in this arena. I always have thought it would be fun to program several of the AI races and see how they do against each other. I tend to enjoy this more than just playing the game. However I expect I am about a 0.01% market share so I am not holding my breath
