Thanks for the tip, Phlagm! This one's the correct thread for the latest version of Drives'R'Us from now on.

There's also a big bonus in that this thread will get a billion hits and will look even more enticing all the time.

New version: 3.1
Download link attached to this post.

Changes in 3.1 version:
+ Created new score category for the cursed Primordian items - they're like artifacts, but more so.
+ Revamped the Shroud a little to match that, and to head off degenerate shroud-gong combos. You may still be able to WISH up such a combo, though.
+ Buffed up Primordius to account for the improvements made to the Cobalt Torpedoes back in version 2.0.
+ Tweaks and rearmaments affecting all Zorg Pickets.
+ New combat graphics for the Dibaryon Barrier and Kaon Enveloper.
+ Upgunned the pirate mission ship just a smidge.
+ Renamed the graphics files, in preparation for my upcoming compilation mod. Was able to reduce file size in the process by nearly a third, just by reorganizing and consolidating the graphics files and locations.
+ Assorted minor debugs.

The first post in this thread has been updated to include a link to the new version 4.0 of Drives'R'Us. There's so much new stuff in it, I seriously considered just giving it a new name. Drives'R'Us is no longer indicative of the central premise of the mod, as I've added a little bit of everything.

Here's a quick summary of the changes:

* Added the best parts of my Teeming With Life mod.
* Added the best parts of my Sgqwonkian Crisis mod.
* Created four new ships.
* Added more than two dozen new quests, including lots of new events.
* Fomax! I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil the surprises.


The download is about 3 times the size of the previous version, so I'm only uploading it to the first page in this thread.

From the little bit of time I've played it, it seems even more fabulous than the last version. I love the new allies, moving fleets, and the stray Ravian/Primordian enemies. All the changes really add more atmosphere to things!

All in all, still the best mod going, and a must-see for avid WW fans.

This mod just keeps getting better!

Thank you all for your kind words about my mod. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
