Ok, I finally did the Culture values. There were some harder decisions than I anticipated, because there are many ways to "use" a culture, depending on which values are at positive or negative threshold, etc.

They look balanced to me. Can't see an obvious powerhouses (like merchant and bezerker used to be). Engineers look much more tempting now. Neutral might even be the best choice from time to time, which is good.

Only criticism I have is that Schemers and Xenophobes are almost identical (though this is true in the stock game as well).

Pete, we are considering adding Minesweeper support for the Human Player and you are the man to see when it comes to your Proportions Plate Armor

What are your thoughts, is it possible to attach Minesweeping abilities to Plate Armor, so as the mounts displacement scale increases so will the ships MS Ability?

If so what would the best way to address this?

Thanks, John

Mounts can not affect the number of mines swept by a component. As scale mounts make a comp larger, it effectively sweeps fewer mines (sweeping per KT goes down).

Let's start a new thread for that question, rather than diverting this one.

Sorry I haven't posted the actual mod yet. I'll give the similar cultures another think, and then try to get it finalized.

any idea when you will post the files?

thanks

Sorry guys - I've been working about 65 hours a week on other stuff, making it hard to remember to organize some time to do this. I'll make an effort to do it soon.

Ok, I'm going to try to get this posted tonight. I figure if I say so now, I'll be more motivated to actually do so.
