Default whats a good solo mod?

I am playing Proportions and solo it is a bit tedious, perhaps I will restart another game in proportion. Just wondering what you all think.

Have you tried TDM or AST ?

These are great Solo.

Actually, there are a lot of great Mods in the Mod list above and at se4 site as well

What you need is an aggressive AI (with bonuses !) just right next to you. Restart and see if you luck out If you are using latest Proportions Version, don't forget to download latest Krill, Penqueninos and Panterrain AI. They might spice up your game

I might end up doing that Oleg.

What I did do was download the TDM mod and started a new game, BUT I generated a map from FQMDLX cause I wanted some asteroids. But there are some planet images missing. Is there images I need to move from FQMDLX? I just wonder because I see some ringworlds (they look cool).

Thanks again

EDIT I found Fyrons info on combining TDM and FQMD together, but for some reason there are still some planets not showing. I am still searching, hehe

But now I dont have any ringworlds no more, and also I dont see alot of asteroids, alot of planets and systems though *shrug*

Did you install the Image Mod into the default pictures folder, as is recommended? It replaces no default comp, planet, etc. images, so doing that does not hurt anything.

Yep, its all there now, just for some reason the Ringworlds dissapeared. Are they player made only? or can they be created in a new map/game?

Constructed planets are not supposed to be on random maps. I think you can call for them specifically, but the wont appear unless you call for a RW in some system.

Try P&N as a Pirate or a Nomad with the TDM AIs converted to work in P&N with SJ's AI converter, on his web site.

I figured as much, thanks Fyron. Would you know any reason why new systems dont have names? I copied over the *.txt files you said to copy.

justa nswering your original question:

You already tried de AI Campaign Mod? I'm playing the v2.90 now and its very cool, the AI are really competitive, but play it in Finite Resources mode so it's more interesting....

just my two cents... (or 'centavos' here in Brazil).
