Single Player Mods

Are there *any* mods that are any good for single player SEIV? My net access sucks, so that'd be... very nice.

(.zip files are preferable for my D/L...)

Well, I reccomend the Star Trek Mod made by Atrocities, just because it's so damnd good, and the AI isnt too bad at it. Wont be nice for your dialup tho.

By the way, the AST mod is no longer supported by Atrocities ( I think...) The current star trek mod is...well... the Star Trek Mod, and it has an AI much improved over the AST mod AI. The link to STM should be in Atrocities sig somewhere.

In my opinion, STM is much better than AST.

Another nice blend of mods is the TDM + FQM + deathstalkers mount mod. All these together retain playable AI's who use the mounts correctly from DMM with lots of good eye-candy from the FQM.

Is there an archive version of TDM? I'm running SE4 on linux with wine and the installer version of TDM I got from the bittorrent tracker doesn't work with wine.

If you like tactical combat and fine control over just a few ships, try:

Pirates & Nomads
http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/other/...dsModV3.1c.zip

Play as a Pirate or Nomad instead of a Normal race, and manage a tiny force as you try to hide and survive in a universe of giants. If the stock game is too easy, try this. Any trick in the book is fair game here.

It does require the imagemod, (combat, facility, and components) which is also available in handy RAR format for extra compression.
Getting winRAR will save you tons of downloading time in the future.

PS:
If you need it, I can break the imagemod up into floppy-sized pieces for you. It would then be easy to download from a neighbour or library and then carry home.

PPS:
The imagemod is an expansion of the stock images, and is used everywhere. Most mods use the graphics in it, and this way, you only have to download them once with occasional update patches. Much easier than downloading another copy of it with each mod.

TDM Mod is an AI only mod that is great for single player.

FQM does not change the game play, but just changes how systems are built.

both of these are great for single player, and can work together.

You can play single player Porportions Mod, but the AI is not the best and needs to have a high bonus to be any challenge at all.

For any one on dial up there is always the option for bit torrent or if they want, I can upload the full mod in parts so that they can download them over time. (I think 1.9.0.0 is already listed in four parts in the Archieve section. Download that then update to 1.9.0.9 or 1.9.1.2.) (Both versions are being played on PBW)

The bittorrent thing is a good idea:
