New quadrant mod posted

Daynarr I just had a look at your new quadrant modification and...

It is just beautiful!!

It will use it as standard from now on and if it is possible from copyright it should be included IMO by MM in their next patch.

Thank you very very much!

I have loaded the mod and think it looks great but it seems that I have less colonizable planets than in the original systems. I use Gas/Methane for my race and usually play with only colonize home planet type. Is this a bad choice with this mod? There seems to be PLENTY of rock planets and fewer Gas and Ice.

Well, its true, there are less planets overall (average is 6.5 per system instead of 9). The planet systems appear more often, though.
The Ice and Gas Giants are not rare; actually it appears that ice and gas giant races using this mod are performing better. This mod is more aimed for players that play in 255 systems quadrants but it should work fine in any other game setting as well.

if someone could come up with some comet pictures for me, I will be glad to work on attempting to add them to the game, Since they are listed in a number of files maybe they will work. Something besides just the plain white ones. Maybe some blue ones.

Love the new pictures

, only problem now is that they outshine the regular screen. Any chance of finding new bitmaps for the standard system screen?? and is there any way to have multiple pictures so that you have different screens for diff systems??

I just must not have tried enough new games. Started one late yesterday and found myself in Gas Giant Heaven. Green cross Gas Giants everywhere. Unfortunately the AI seems everywhere they are too.

OK. Five more posted in the Mod section under the sound/graphics area.
