I have played the AST mod several times on different computers. I guess it is just what I like that makes me think I do not like it alot. Let's say I like Pepsi and "Bob" likes Coke and I do not like Coke and "Bob" does not like Pepsi, our likes conflict. It is something like that but I am sure that the ST Mod will be the best mod ever. Adding ships from each era/series would be hard and would make the mod too big for us 56K-ers. The AST mod is the biggest Mod I have downloaded but the largest file I have ever downloaded was around 80GBs. It almost took a whole day.
Good luck, Atrocities and Kwok.
