Re: A first!!!
Arralen:
I'm not sure but I think Dark Nova 4 might satisfy most of your concerns. PBW has the most recent version (v4.24).
- viable small ships in late game
- Adapded TDM AI's
- increased importance of organics and rads
- harder to colonize non-native planets
- variant of quasi-newtonian propulsion
About the only thing it's missing from what you request is reduced population growth rates. The only flaw with the AI is that they don't do Intel very well. And, unfortunatly, I don't know about modding AI files enough to figure out how to correct it.
As for SEIV, I'm still in 4 PBW games. 2 of which have just started since SEV came out.
