Version 2.07 of Fyron's Quadrant Mod has been released! It came out to 31.1 MBs. Check out http://fqm.spaceempires.net/ for more information.

The latest Version history is as follows:

Version 2.07 - 2 November 2003:
Files Altered: QuadrantTypes.txt, StellarAbilityTypes.txt, SystemTypes.txt
1. Changed - Version history moved from Readme.txt to History.txt. Format changed.
2. Added - Added Chaotic Warp Point to StellarAbilityTypes.txt, which is a copy of the Unstable Warp Point from FQM 2.06.
3. Changed - Standard # AS I Un WP systems are now Standard # AS I Chaotic WP systems. Such systems use the Chaotic Warp Point type instead of Unstable.
4. Changed - Chaotic Region systems now use the Chaotic Warp Point ability rather than Unstable Warp Point.
5. Changed - The warp point ability that did 6500 damage now does 650 damage.
6. Changed - The occurance of damaging Warp Points is now at roughly 20% of the pre-2.07 levels. 1.1% of WPs will have the Sector - Damage ability. 1.1% of WPs will have the Warp Point - Turbulence ability.
7. Added - Stars can now have level 3 cloaking, providing a full spectrum of cloaking.
8. Fixed - The WP ability that gave a Sight Obscuration level of 1 now gives level 2, so that it can actually provide cloaking.
9. Added - Added an alternate StellarAbilityTypes.txt file that shows the effect of each ability in the ability description. This file is only accessed when the map is created, and never during the game. So, the host of a multiplayer game (if the players so desire) could use it to make the game, and the players would not have to do anything special.
10. Changed - Reorganized SystemTypes.txt.
11. Added - Added the following system types with new pictures: Black Hole 2, Nebulae 16-34.
12. Fixed - Psuedo-FTL is now spelled Pseudo-FTL.
13. Changed - Updated the Help document to include Maze, Pseudo-FTL and Spaghetti quadrants.
