My 2 pence of modding food

Where can I sign up for your mod ?

I really don�t care about the unit that defines the component size ..

And fleetsize is not that important, i would be happy, if the AI would attack me with something bigger than destroyers

and you caught my thought about shipsize .. thats what I meant with biggest ships .. strong big combat ships, that are still smaller than the hulking, vulnarable fighter carriers .. BSG is a good example .. another thing that I am always thinking about is WingCommander ..

PES is emerging as one of the many go getters out of the first batch of SE V modders. I would predict that many future modders are going to be looking to him for guidence and help in the (hopefully) years to come.

I think you are being too generous At. But thank you for such a potent compliment.

Signing up for my mod is easy, just PM me. If nothing else you can look over the data files and see how I worked the items. There are a number of known problems that you should be aware of first. More of that later, just keep in mind that this is a beta because it is unplayable without patches from Aaron. I am working on a way to get around those problems since I don't see waiting a year just to share this thing. Also keep in mind the planets are not working yet. More precisely the planets work; however, the system generation does not. Ok that's not right either. The system generation does but I can't seem to get the number of planets I want per system. Also there is no AI in the SFTC. I need to make sure the components and other parts work first. AI is very last on the list. Finally this is a TC even though I keep calling it a mod. You may be in for more of a shock than you think. Remember TC = Total Conversion.

I thought of Wing Commander too, but chose BSG because they have double the landing points and thus double the launch tubes. I try to visualize things as I mod them since I intend to learn modeling and create my own ship sets in about a year or so. In other words I want my work to match the picture in my minds eye so the shipsets will compliment what has already been done. All that probably just sounds confusing.
