Achievements Mod

All achievements completed, no mod unlocked

From the Wikipedia Article:

"The game keeps track variety of "Achievements," some of them triggered by ordinary gameplay actions (e.g. winning as a specific race, collecting enough resources), others by winning with voluntary restrictions (e.g. no capital ships or strike craft), one listed as "Space Ponies!" with a description of "Um... What?" Also completeing the Achievement list in a Record time from installation of the game will unlock a hidden mod"

My friend and I got the game on Tuesday, spent all week playing and getting all the achievements unlocked, and we get the last one (Damn you Space Ponies!), but when we go to the mod screen there is nothing listed. Now, either:

a) We didn't do it in "record time", meaning I have to reinstall and try to get it faster than a week or

b)We did something wrong or

c) We've been skunked, there is no hidden mod. (Should of known, with how shifty that line on the wikipedia article looked.)

So, any help/anyone run into this?

Space Ponies are still eluding me. I'm really starting to get aggravated, as that 98% sign mocks me each time I see it. Every time I think I know how to find the damn equines, they aren't there!

well, i can't say i've found that hidden achievement but i do know a way for you to find out,

the achievements are saved in a file, achievements.achievements or something like that,

so if you reinstall the game, change the file so you've suddenly done everything on there (maybe leave an easy one out, win as tec, for example), and then start the game and go play a game of point blank being tec (for the example) against an easy AI,

within an hour after reinstalling you should be able to get the one achievement you've left out. and hopefully trigger the game into thinking you've suddenly got them all in that one hour, thus, giving you the hidden achievement.. if it excists...
