You know, that gives me an idea for the Humans- Only Version.

I could add a tech area "!Speed-Turbo", and one called "!Speed-Medium".

They would be disablable by the person creating the game, and the best available one would trump the others.

Slow would be say -2 speed on all engines currently in the game.
Medium is normal.
Turbo could double engine speeds.

Instant speed options, and only one mod to download!

I like it! Go to it Mod Meister SJ!

That does sound like a pretty spiffy idea.

By the way SJ, I seemed to have lost the .bmp for the Battlemoon and I'm wondering what AI races in the mod were actually programmed to build this thing?

Well, none of the AIs are actually designed to use battlemoons.

They're a bit too big and expensive, and I'd hate to see them get a few stuck in a black hole system (not enough speed to ever escape)

The battlemoon image is taken from images\planets. It is the Huge Rock/None world with the giant crater in the otherwise-smooth surface. Looks somewhat like a deathstar. Just copy into the generic shipset folder and rename it.

Well, I think it's a "must-have" if you're going to play as the Galactic Empire

You can always build battlemoons, its just that (most) AIs aren't programmed to build anything that big.

Even if the shipset dosen't include a Worldship picture, the mod will use a planet picture instead.
There are few races that include their own special image, and the image is not required for the mod to work. The space Vikings are one that does include one; try 'em out.
