i am NOT!(dang i get to re-read more) totally sastified with the way SE4 TechsTrees/Shipsizes/WeaponMounts/Compenents. (don't get me wrong its a great game.) So i am taking all the deafult data files in those areas (not pics though). Cramming them into a tight little ball and shov...<CENSORED>. And rebuilding whole thing from scratch. (Yes i know its a very stupid thing to do but i am stupid like that). I probably won't get around to doing new Ais for a while but. Well thats all i have to say now.

Are you sure you meant that?

In any case, theres no need to get upset. Modding is an integral part of SE4, and another modder is always welcome.

Hey man, I had the same idea, trust me, unless you get alot of help or are really dedicated it will never happen.

Good luck with adjusting the whole tech tree. Personally, a buddy and I have had more successful luck in just adjusting things and adding things here and there to what already exists. It was just easier.

We are currently working on warp engine theories and shuttle craft(similar to FE rules). We are have already adjusted engines, added new armor types, changed armor Ratings and some of what they do, added and adjusted research and intelligence facilities.

All of this took us some time. I added 3 new armor types, and each armor type took me 2 hours to add, and play test to make sure that it didnt overly make the game out of balance.

Gray:

What have you got working with shuttles so far? I had tried to make fighters capable of carrying cargo components, but that will not work in the game as it currently is. I had then thought about using really small ships to represent them, but then they can't land in docking bays... curious as to what y'all came up with.

Val,

So far we only have concepts. We havent tried anything concrete yet. As soon as we get it done, then I will pass the info off to you. We figure on making a combat mount of some type for storage. When we test our theory, and if it works, ill post more concrete on it.

Interesting idea on the mount for storage - if you want another person for ideas try bouncing some my way and I will see if I can help

(Edit) I don't see any way to make a mount handle cargo, but maybe I am missing something...
