Looks good.

A bit of a pain to install, but once installed works fine. Looks great. Nice noise when it starts. I thought my PC had just warped to a new home sector.

Minor beef -> Running the viewer with the new fields at 800X^600 means i cant view all the editing fields

Easy solution would be to up my resolution, but until i get my Geforce 4 i cant do that and have my system remain stable.

Perhaps a warning for minimum resolution needed?

Other then that it looks fine, i esp like the safety feature of limiting the max setting for a tech area requirement to the number of levels that tech area has... may have to steal that and use it in my program to

don't do that, i used it too in my program, but some mods have higher tech req. on purpose, so i'm changing it to just showing a warning instead of giving an error.

Hmm I actually tested in at 800x600 cause I figured some people may use this. There is a button on the toolbar that slids the treeview out the way. And at that resolution you should get a scroll bar on the left to scroll up and down. If these are not working please let me know.

Indeed there was, and it is working. I should have made a more detailed inspection before posting

Good point! A warning would do the trick just as well

Each time I run the program, I get an error message that says:

Run-time error '76'
Path not found

I wonder... is it trying to find SE4 in the C:\Program Files... directory instead of C:\SE4 where I have it installed?

Thanks!

Nice, very nice. Will it work with 1.49? I found a small bug that you might want to know about. Nothing serious.

I looked at the Monolith facility then went to Spaceport and it showed 2 abilites for the spaceport. The second ability was actually the second ability for the Monolith. I tried it a few other times and sure enough, every time I looked at something with multiple abilites, then at something with one, the second ability shows up.
