What kind of systems are they? Maps with the Grid type are always limited to a finite maximum of systems. So are Spiral type quadrants.

"Just wondering--i believe i installed everything correctly, but i cannot generate maps with alot of systems. I choose large but the maps seem small to me? Am i missing something? "

Nope, that was just a personal preference, and with Fyrons FQM in there with so many moons and the all colonize option I didn't feel the need for so many systems. I set the default to 75. If you want more just go into the Data folder of the mod, open the Settings.txt file with notepad/something and edit the number of systems line to more, 255 I believe is max.

Deathstalker, I set this up acccording to your instructions, but I'm getting error Messages when nebulaes are supposed to appear. I know I got the latest Version of FQM Deluxe, but what am I missing? It's asking for nebulaes 18 and 32, that I know of. And those aren't in the picture files. Where can I find those?

Those images are certainly in FQM Deluxe. Where did you download it from and what Version is it?

Gregebowman i had the same problem.To solve it is this.What i did is download FQM Deluxe 2.08.I Copy-paste the System folder from FQM Deluxe to the Gold D mod.Place the system folder in the picture folder of Gold D mod.And thats it.My game works fine now.Hope this helps.

Deathstalker this game is AWSOME, so many mounts

LOL,

Thanks HEMAN. I did kinda go overboard with the mounts

. I just made alot AI specific so they had a few advantages or at least didn't have to develop 3 or more tech's to get the same mount (and thus keep up with or have an edge over the human player who could naturally design ships better).

That being said I've found a few 'bugs' that I'll update later (mainly the fighter spinal mount being used by the rocket pods, ouch!). I also want to add in a few new decoy missiles (a 'decoy drone' type missile, huge hitpoints but a seeker speed of 1 or 2 and a range of up to 10 or 12, great to soak up pdc, going for and Honor Harrington type missile decoys here sort of. (OT, anyone seen the trailer for that new Angela Jole/Jude Law movie 'Skycaptain' something or other??, Angela's looks just scream Honor!!

Damn they need an Honor movie with her in the lead role!))

Anyone else have some likes/dislikes/requests??
