Please recommend some mods :)

Hey guys, I'm getting the game in a few days, and while I haven't even played the normal Version yet, one of the main reasons I bought this game was because of its modability. Unfortunately, the amount of mods for this game leaves me at a loss at which ones to try and which combinations of mods lead to an enjoyable game. So, if you guys could post some of the mods you enjoy, I'd appreciate it. New game types, ship sets, races, anything. THe only ones I have downloaded right now are the star trek mod and the star wars mods. So any other must trys

THanks

Pirates & Nomads! (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1065972137.zip)

Play as a "normal" race at first, then try a Nomad or Pirate race for a real challenge.

Be sure to download the TDM AIs, too.
Its not a mod, per se, but better AIs can't be beat!

I like Devnull Mod and Deathstalkers Mount Mod.

Devnull Mod has the Infamous Space Monsters.

Deathstalkers Mount Mod, while not a full mod, GREATLY enhances the game. (Lots of new mounts to use!)

You can (and I have) even combine those two for even more fun...

Some people enjoy Fyron's Quadrant Mod. You can even use the "Standard" Version to make maps that can be used in stock SE4 or other mods.

I would have to say that TDM Modpack should be among the first you try. You should learn the basic game at least a little before going off with an involved mod. TDM only enhances and adds new races so none of the other aspects of the game are changed under this mod. Basically it is like playing the unmodded game with more of a challenge against the AI.

Slick.
