Anyone had a chance to try this out?

[overminder]

I just downloaded it. Does it work with any MODS? can I add it to the TMD-MODS?

[Deathstalker]

Yes it will work with the TDM mod, you just have to rename the 'CompEnhancement.txt' that is already in the Data folder within the modd and place the new 'CompEnhancement.txt' file from my modd into that folder. This way you can change back to the original modd at will.

With other modds it may or may not work, depends on what they (the modder) has included as mounts. (ie, the Devnull mod already has a CompEnhancement.txt that has new mounts that work with specificly with the modd).

{You could always open the two 'CompEnhancement.txt' files and copy/paste what you like/find that works. }

It looks to me like you gave the crystaline races a huge advantage. Felt sorry for them, eh?

[Deathstalker]

Spoo, good to hear from you.

Yep, I have always thought the Crystalline weapons were vastly underpowered as opposed to say the Organic ones. This is a partial 'correction' IMO. I am working on mounts for all the racial techs, crystalline were just the easiest to come up with in the way of ideas.

Other possibilities:

Organic Armor mount, (structure increase)

Organic Weapon Mounts (damage/to hit increase due to 'Genetic Alteration').

Crystalline Engine Mount (or organic, to simulate solar power or a geneticly altered creatures innate superiority).

Psychic Weapon Mounts (expanded, different levels for 'stronger/weaker' telepaths in terms of damage/to hit ability)

Religious Mounts ('Armor of Faith',...still thinking )

Basicly I am just playing around right now to get the right mix of ideas and balancing them out so as one race/tech is not too powerful (just wish we could affect armor abilites like Regeneration or Emmissiveness {is that even a word?? }) Eventually it will be as Geo stated it once, a huge incredibly complex CompEnhancement.txt file in which all things are possible (paraphrased)
