The Extras folder on the Gold CD includes a three-pack of scenarios by Geoschmo. Still no editor, though

I'm not buying Gold. I bought the game once. I'm not buying a second copy, just to get the stuff that was supposed to be in the original Version.

I've heard all the lectures about supporting Shrapnel, yadda yadda yadda. But I'm still not buying it.

Two of Geo's scenarios were adapted from pre-Gold Versions, which are still available in the Old Mod Archives.

Now that I've found the thread about SJ's scenario that I couldn't remember the name of, that was pre-Gold, as well. [ Edit ] It's still available on Shrapnel's New Scenario/Mod Archive.

Nanotechnology:like organic but weaker,and you research it normally its not a racial trait.

Nanotech - yah. By "like organic but weaker" do you mean that there will autorepair? I'm guessing that it won't directly mirror the organic tech tree. I'd also guess that it would use a lot of radioactives (energy for processing) vs. using a lot of organics. The nanotech tree could definitely affect the society as well - enter the "arms-or-butter" thing. Maybe make miniaturization/nanotech a requirement for the advanced resource gathering (it's described as small robots gathering resources more efficiently after all!).

Perhaps miniaturization could be a precursor technology to nanotech and allow the small weapons for fighters, sort of stretch out the tree a little. Perhaps put a little automation branch in there also (droids, automated factories, more efficient astroid miners, automated repair a la organics but weaker, etc.) Again, I'd really like to see the non-military applications in balance with the military applications... gives the players more options.

Just my .02 $Cdn (.016 USD)

Edit - I can't spell

I hope people buy the UM, it's a great mod. As for the Omni mod, that's if and when it's ever made.

If you have to pay for them, I doubt that it will change his mind.
