What's new with Se4 Trek?

[Roelstra conDoin]

I'm a fan of SE4 and Trek. this of course meant that I was bound to try making my own mod for SE4. I have sound ideas for the mod but I keep running into the same problem. After adding a racial trait I can't load any of the Empires that come with the game. I read the Modders Guide and found some mention of this but nothing very helpful (sorry, but true). I was wondering if anyone here could lend a hand with this??? Also if there is a better place for me to post this please let me know.

I've been there, done that.
Check out Pirates & Nomads for info on how to deal with new racial traits. The section on "(How) To get more races to play with:" will show you how to fix your problem.
If you look into my files, you can see how to prevent certain races from using certain techs, too.

By Monday or Tuesday, I will have posted a racial traits file with lots of blank traits, and include a large pack of EMPs that will work with it. All you have to do for your mod is edit the description of each trait, and add objects that require the techs.
There will be about 10 "default-on" traits, and 10 "default-off".

My next question is this. I have developed a shipstyle combining Atrocities TOS and Federation styles. The end result is a kind of transitional Trek style. Should I post this or not considering the fact that there is no original work in it, the pictures were just shuffled around?

If anyone is interested, I will be updating my TrekMod in the next couple weeks to make it 1.41 compatible. It shouldn't be too difficult. I think it only needs some minor ai file updates.

Once I have it done I will post it here and also make it available on PBW if anyone wants to use it for a game there.

Roelstra conDoin, by all means postem. Thats one of the fun parts of the game, taking something and making it fit you. Yes, please post it.
