Ya, the commonwealth is my shipset, I still haven't finished the AI. The official name is the Turian Commonwealth. I also have a couple of other shipsets I'm working on.

This is a great resource. The only suggestion I have is maybe adding the various Ratings onto the main list for those of us who don't have any of these at all and have to just pick random links to check out.

Great work!

Only thing I’ve seen about your shipset is the little preview pic in USy. John Beech is known to change names of races he Posts. I’ll correct the name as soon as I can.
It will probably take a long time until it’s uploaded in USy. Perhaps you want to wait until you finish the AI, but is your race Online anywhere else?

Sounds like a good idea but it's hard to implement.
Rate them with my opinion? I thought of adding a little paragraph of comments to every race but I’m too lazy.
Have them rated them by AI performance, graphics quality, originality/faithful sci-fi interpretation, etc. would be great, but to hard to do.
Players votes?
I wish I could allow visitors rate and add comments to the races.

I also thought of linking directly to ZIP files, but I think that many webmasters may see it as if I was trying to steal their work. Also many shipsets have comments in the site that are not included in readme files.

As always I’m open to any suggestion.

Andrés

Old AI is big problem. Maybe I should try to find someone(s) to do AI for my shipsets that have outdated AI. But right now first priority is to get some sleep.

Critical updates to outdated AIs:

In AI_General
Political Savy > Political Savvy
Design Name File add .txt to the file name

In AI_DesignCreation
Phased-Shield Generation > Phased Shield Generation
Combat To Hit Dec > Combat To Hit Defense Plus
Combat To Hit Add > Combat To Hit Offense Plus
Combat Sensors > Combat To Hit Offense Plus

In AI_Settings
These lines may be missing (of course you can change them to fit the race)
Get Angry Over Allied Colonizable Planets := True
Get Angry Over Enemy Colonizable Planets := False
Percentage of Allied Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 10
Percentage of Enemy Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 5
Personality Group := 3

Ya, it's up at PBW. You have to check for an older Version though, as somebody uploaded a racefile and replaced my shipset with it.
