hi no. this is a multi player one. Perhaps down the road but the mod is built around pbw suggestions...

Something seems to be wrong with your URL tag, Tesco - I think it has to be lowercase. Either that or take away the space after the filename...

(And you'd HAVE to use a RAAAAR archive, wouldn't you, Domokun fanboy

)

Just looking at the data files...

What's the use of the Armor Plating component when there's a mount that does the same thing? (Or vice versa

)

The Solar Sail is WAY too powerful, especially with the QNP... a 20kT component that gives you two to six *bonus* movement???

On larger ships it would take hundreds of kT of engines to get that much movement!

I see you used my "planet type natives" from the Colony Tech Mod... but you seem to have left out the 500kT Ark Ship (tech level 3 of ship construction) , a larger Version of the Colony Ship designed to carry the non-native modules or serve as a colony ship with extra space for components.

The 50% maintenance reduction on bases is missing its description...

Weapons with a modifier to hit really ought to have some sort of fake ability or something in their description saying so, especially since you tweaked the PD to-hit chances

Glancing at the comp enhancement file I noticed that none of the shield mounts actually have any effect on the amount of shielding produced.

Am I missing something here?

Agreed. Will cut that in half

The plating component is out of lazyness to fill in extra slots for normal armor... The mount needs to be researched and works on all armor.... But I see your point....

Yea I did. Do you think it would be a good fit to the game ???

Good Idea Ed. I will add that for 2.0.1

If you mean the specialized colony techs, don't ask me, I came up with the idea and I can't give you a fair and unbiased opinion!

If you mean the ark ships, I guess they really aren't necessary since by the time you get a second colony tech you'll probably have cruisers anyway... but still, it's nice to have all your colony ships LOOK like colony ships, it's hard enough managing them already in a large empire

edit: oh yeah... since emissive ability doesn't work for units, the Small Emissive Armor is useless - it has less HP/kT than regular armor and costs more, too!
