Default Re: Devnullmod

Pretty much the whole mod needs to be installed. Almost all of the files in the data directory are modified. I'm working on making it compatible with TDM-ModPack 1.70 so you would install that first and then DevnullMod. It will probably overwrite a couple files (data/formations.txt and AI/Default_AI_PlanetTypes.txt), but they'll have all of TDM-ModPacks changes in there.

Well, the problem really is that PD is too powerful already. A couple PD V's on a few ships in a fleet can basically make you immune to missiles. Fighters are somewhat tougher, but still PD will ruin their day.

The reason I like the light missile mod as well as the fast seeking speed of the sprint missiles, etc is that they can overwhelm or get by PD. It really helps balance things. With the new mods, ships in a fleet with *JUST* PD on them are now useful, if not necessary.

So while more PD is certainly an option, before I add more PD, I'll probably just tone down the new missile mods a bit.
