Greetings!
I've posted a new page on my website for my next mod - Captain Kwok's Space Empires Nova. It represents my take on the Space Empires Universe and will feature an expanded tech tree and some changes to game mechanics. I'll be building it on top of the Balance Mod, so a lot of the basic ideas will carry through with a number of areas being expanded.
The Nova mod page is here and has more details:

This is the same mod as I mentioned a few months ago under "Kwok's Galaxy Mod", but now I'm at a point where I've actually starting doing up the data files.
Feel free to post ideas or things you'd like to see. I'll be elaborating more on the planned features as time permits.
