I have been playing PvK's Proportions since March, now I'm giving Derek's Mod a try because of the AI in there, with Proportions flavor.

The AI in my mod is currently a mish mash of a variety of things.

The ship design files are from Devnull, which was originally TDM and modified to Devnull standards. They are further modified by me to cover the quasi-Newtonian propulsion system, and to try and get them to use the variety of things available in Derek's Mod Gold.

On the other hand, the facility and planet AI are more or less straight from Proportions.

If you are looking for a challenge, add in the Space Monsters. You do this by adding in the monsters as one of the empires, then making sure you set it to 'computer controlled' Space Monster will definitely give you a run for your money. It's very disconcerting to see, about 20 turns into the game, a message that a new warppoint has opened into your system, and knowing that only the monsters have that capability.

Have fun!
