Default SciFi Mod

BeenAssimilated and I (I'm new to forums thanks to BeenAssimilated) are working on a new mod, currently known as the SciFi Mod. Amongst the new features that we are planning to include are:
A greater emphasis on individual planetary and ship development.
A MUCH greater range of components, facilites, mounts, etc. (to higher levels).
A completely overhauled tech tree, partially based on star trek, that includes traditional and new scifi ideas and special tech areas for races such as the Yuzzong Vong (can't remember how to spell that) and completely new races.
A greater emphasis on the distinction betweeen different resource types (for example, normal spaceyards do not build as fast with organics but faster with minerals and average with radioactives).
A greater emphasis on sensor technology, including cloaking and sensors that go up to level XVIII and a HUGE distinction between the five sensor types.
More details will be posted later.

Additionally, we humbly ask Atrocities and Captain Kwok if we may have access to and use the Star Trek Mod graphics in our mod, as well as the shipsets on the New Age Shipyards. If we could use the graphics, this mod will be greatly sped up. Thank You.

I reccommend trying my Tech Gridder.

http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...3;t=008842;p=2

It will help you make multi-dimensional families of components in no time at all.

I have taken a look at the tech grider and it will be very useful. It ceartainly beats the manual method that I was using and the subsequent troubleshooting . Thanks!

Does tech gridder only do components, or can it do technologies and facilites as well? (And if so, how?)

I'm not exactly an expert, but it doesn't seem as though it's likely that Atrocities and Captain Kwok will read this post. Do you have reccomendations on getting their attention?
