-The Mod in itself
I don't see how your mod could be better than the mods already out there, or in development, and would therefore warrant paying for it.

-200+ Multiplayer maps
I for one am satisfied with random maps. And, I don't see how you could have 200+ truly unique maps with the SE4 system. They will either end up being repetitive or similar to the random maps.

-47 new race styles
I have at least 150 race styles that I have downloaded. There is no reason to pay for any more.

-Epic background story encompassing the history of the universe in campaigns and hopefully an ebook novel Version of that story.
This is one of the only two features that could possibly warrant charging for, but not with everything else.

-flash movies that would act as cutscenes after each scenario in the campaigns.
Cutscene movies after scenarioes are rather annoying. A lot of people I know just click escape when they come up.

-Desktop themes for the mod
Trivial feature.

-special websites dedicated to each race and contains expanded information on them.
Might be interesting, but could easily be placed on a free web server, thereby eliminating costs for you.

-special encryption prog for in-game Messages
Umm... I'm not sure what you mean by that exactly, but it sounds more like a hassle than a feature.

-music Cd of course!
IF this CD is entirely comprised of your own music, then you could reasonably charge for it. But, like the supposedly "epic background story", this should not be used to force people to pay for the mod.

Just because other people have charged for mods before for other games does not mean that it is right.

I am not saying that your mod will be a bad mod, but just that it couldn't possibly warrant charging money for. Regardless of your personal situation, mods are not objects to charge people for.
