Questtions about downloaded races

Nope, as I understand it you only need AI_General, and AI_Anger. Anything else you leave out will default to the generic files. However, the better races have more files.

Any text files that the game can't find, it looks in a default directory with 'standardised' data files in it.

The only files that a race desperately needs to operate in SE4 without error Messages is the Racename_AI_General.txt

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks, this clears up a lot of things for me.

I have downloaded some race styles/shipsets from various sites. I have noticed that some of these races do not have the same number/type of text files as compared to the races supplied with the game.
I am using a few in my game now and they seem to be working. I have a question for the modders.
Are all the types of text files required for the race to be played by the AI?
Thanks
