Default Re: PBW aid.

Actually it is a bit more complicated.
Blank Mod includes the minimum you need. If you did what you indicate and anyone used a non custom shipset it would randomise one from what is in your new Pic/Races directory.
You must have the normal SE4 race folders in that directory also(Though nothing needs to be in them.
Blank cuts down the size to its tiniest no frills size. It will save HD space since you do not need to copy any Basic SE4 shipsets.
This whole process is very confusing to newbies. Whom often put shipsets (PBW ones are often incomplete) in their regular directory. I posted this with them in mind.
It also will save time for veterans since they do not have to remove all the unessary stuff (which is what I was doing previously).
Deleting the contents of 20 races takes a while and gets tiresome. Creating all the folders you need takes a few minutes too. With blank Mod all you need to do is unzip, rename, and add custom shipsets (if any). Three simple steps.
Any other opinions if people really don't like it I could remove it?

Oh, yea, I forgot to mention that one, huh? It's a good idea for newbies. I guess I'm just too hands-on to let someone else do the busywork. ;P
