You can also download my web page (which contains some additional info about my mod) from 1030061098.zip
Just unzip and view Home.htm

I hope you enjoy!

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I want to invite everybody to try out my mod. Please visit the ZippyMod Home Page to download the latest Version and/or visit the ZippyMod Readme for additional information about my mod.

Zippy's SE IV Mod spans many aspects of SE IV, making additions and improvements to each of these areas. The mod also includes a program that allows you to quickly and safely adjust the difficulty of my mod. There are too many changes to list individually, but some of the more significant changes include:

1. Improved AI text files
2. 25 new types of components (most have between 3-20 levels of improvement, new pictures, new sounds, and fighter Versions)
3. 36 additional tech areas (13 additional unique tech areas)
4. Many modifications to the original components and research areas
5. Sensors and ECM now add to vehicle modifiers 6. A new racial trait (called Energy Race) with its own ships and a hybrid of shields and armor
7. Eight unique AI’s that are compatible with the new and modified components and the new tech areas. Each AI has unique and highly optimized Research and DesignCreation files.
8. New CompEnhancements, Cultures, and Facilities
9. Improved game balance
10. A few new beam and torp pictures
11. 31 new combat sound files

My Components.txt file is around 800k while the Components.txt file that comes with v1.49 is only around 485k. Using these numbers as a rough estimate says that my mod has over 50% more components than the original Version!

There is more, but if this isn’t enough to make you want to try my Mod, then I’m afraid that I’ve failed.

If you are looking for something new and challenging, then I think you'll enjoy!
