Zippy's SE IV Mod (Note: It's HUGE!!!)

[zippy]

I want to invite everybody to try out my mod. The mod can be downloaded at:

About This Mod:

This mod spans many aspects of SE IV, making additions and improvements to each of these areas. There are too many changes to list individually, but some of the more significant changes include:

1. Improved AI
2. 25 new types of components (most have between 3-20 levels of improvement, new pictures, new sounds, and fighter Versions)
3. 36 additional tech areas (13 additional unique tech areas)
4. Many modifications to the original components and research areas
5. Sensors and ECM now add to vehicle modifiers (see Design Notes)
6. A new racial trait (called Energy Race) with its own ships and a hybrid of shields and armor
7. Ten unique AI’s that are compatible with the new and modified components and the new tech areas
8. New CompEnhancements, Cultures, and Facilities
9. Improved game balance
10. A few new beam and torp pictures
11. 31 new combat sound files

My Components.txt file is around 780k while the Components.txt file that comes with v1.30 is only around 485k. Using these numbers as a rough estimate says that my mod has over 50% more components than the original Version!

There is more, but if this isn’t enough to make you want to try my Mod, then I’m afraid that I’ve failed.

One warning: The AI in this mod is designed to be MUCH more difficult than the default AI.

I hope you enjoy!
