Design Names Anthology, while not a mod, is still quite useful. It adds several hundred new design name files to choose from. http://dna.spaceempires.net/

Pirates and Nomads is definitely worth a play, even if Suicide Junkie never updated it to take advantage of the new 1.91 features. P&N, along with Devnull Mod and TDM, are 3 of the first of the great mods.

If you want an incredibly different game, try Adamant. And I do mean different. [img]/threads/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif[/img] http://adamant.spaceempires.net/

There are a lot of mods available for download from SpaceEmpires.net, so browse through there at some point.

If you want a few hundred extra shipsets to choose from (never play the same race twice!), you can get the Shipset Archive from:
