sorry, been away finding work.
holybeast, the first 2 links are the same file, the inital mod. the 3rd is for the update. i tried them and they still seem to be working for me.
Ryo79, yeah the screenies suck so i will try to get some better ones up. To be honest i havn't got that far into a game against the shivans to see much of anything of thiers. i've really only been playing against the vasudans.
Has anyone even seen the lucifer under the AI? maybe we'll need to change some of the costs for these things. I noticed that the Vasudans didn;t seem to build their super cap ship, but i was hammering them pretty hard so maybe they couldn;t save up, or the ai doesn;t think its worth it. I think they are, especially the lucy.
mr. who, the hades is in just like you want it.
vp21ct, i THINK we are going to try and keep it as Vanilla FS as possible, atleast to begin with. we will definitely have to add some fan made material (such as the imhotep) and others to fill out the ranks in some places. Some of the fan made stuff is beautiful. We'll have to be creative with the tech tree for sure. and as far as modding goes, the best way to learn is open up the text files, read through them and change things to see what happens in game. alot of the tags in the files are easy to understand what your editing. making a copy of the file before you change it is always a safe idea. supply cost is what you want to change in this instance. its in each ships entity file.
I think im hearing that shivans are a bit too overpowered. 
i will have to play some games against them. but rest assured things will become more balanced with time.
thanks for the input all.
