What about just linking to a major fan site that has all the empires for download?

Who here is a lawyer?

You think anyone in here would be crazy enough to admit that they are a lawyer???

I vote against having the french-speaking ships secede from the fleet. Furthermore, I'm really tired of getting my combat results Messages from those guys in french only. Would it be asking too much to get an english translation here?

Oh, and I'll be posting the files for my NEWFIE race here very soon now...

I don't know if it's compatible with the modpack ethos of preserving compatibility with the base game, but I'd really like to see Suicide_Junkie's pirate mod in the next release.

That way I could be sure that the .emp files were SJ compatible and also I suspect this would improve the odds of MM one day adding pirates to a patch.

Each mod pack is owned by the people who wrote them. So they each have rules on what should and should not be included.

I know MM are busy but I'd really like to see some of these user mods and races making it into "official" updates (ie the patches).

I already have 2 installations of SEIV to cope with the two different configurations needed for my 2 different PBEM games.

It would be much better if MM included what they thought were the best mods into the game so that ppl could play with a standard installation but not feel they are missing out on anything.

There is an exception to every rule. Including this one.

I was pretty much blown away when I found out you could customize so much in Space Empires IV. I still am in awe of Aaron for the whole concept. I think it might be going against the spirit of the game if Aaron were to come out in favor of one mod or the other. They are all great in their own way. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Of course, Aaron, (How does he find the time?!?) seems to have modified the default AI files to improve the default configuration according to mods created by players. Is that amazing or what?
