Just picked up the game (just in time for SEV it seems, hehe), and I really like it. Have some questions though. For one, is it possible to limit the number of ships in the game by hull class. That is, could I limit the number of Base ships to say one or two per race. The number of DN's to some number a bit higher, etc? I assume it would have to be done through a mod, but is it possible at all? Has anyone built a mod like this?

I'm actually looking to do a number of things and am wondering if it is possible.
1) limit the number of larger ships (scale them actually, more hulls the smaller they are - fewer the larger they are)
2) Increase the build times for larger hulls
3) Maybe mess around with maint costs

The intent being to turn the game from a rush to build an all DN fleet into one of building a 'core' fleet of dn's that you try to keep alive supported by smaller (and less efffective due to mounts) and faster to build hulls. Anyhow, some friends of mine thought it sounded like a cool idea.

Are there any tutorials on making race/AI mods? I assume there must be, so the real question is would someone please provide a link to one.

Thanks,
Chad
