okay, here you go:
1040432203.zip
be warned, this is not yet finished. weapons and research need to be ballanced. Drones, fighters, troops, and sats are not yet finished. some tech areas are not complete, the settings file needs to be balanced, and some components still need to be added.
in most cases, a single component represents an entire component family, and all levels beyond the first have yet to be created.
This is Version 0.1, Pre-Release. see the modinfo.txt for a partial list of credits. This is not the final Version. please send feedback, and any requests for adds, moves, or changes. service requests outside of the original scope of work will require a project change order request to be completed and signed by both parties.. i mean, its time for me to take a vacation.
the AI DOES NOT WORK with this mod. it will need to be completely re-written, since components are vastly different, and the tech tree has changed quite a bit. the AI may NEVER work, because of the nature of engine and armor mounts. im not sure.
