Eclipse Mod
Well, Eclipse is finally underway and is ready for beta testing. You can continue reading for a quick description or you can head over to SE.net to download. I am very interested to hear what you think of it.
Eclipse is a mod that focuses on single player or hotseat gameplay. Emphasis has been placed on tactical combat, resource management, and colony development. All technologies, components and facilities have been completely redesigned. Ships have been rebalanced for maneuverability and hit rate. Stations are capable of joining fleets and are important for deep space resupply. Players begin with primitive technology and can choose what type of technology branches they will develop to aid their military and economic expansion.

Re: Eclipse Mod
I got an unexpected format error when I tried to unpack it.

Re: Eclipse Mod
that's strange. some have already unpacked it with no trouble. perhaps you should try to re-download it.

Re: Eclipse Mod
I use winrar. it has a 40 day trail period for the shareware Version. Also it is compatible with just about any type of compressed file so you can always try it:

Re: Eclipse Mod
tried to run the mod 3 times--all a no go
first time--got a fatal error--blue screen of death--noticed an error message with mod launcher--so i reinstalled launcher and mod.
second--game froze as it is trying to load after hit begin game--usually freezes at around 98percent
third--game froze as i was scrolling through the race selections when I hit add new to create my race.
I have seen the freeze problem in other mods--but usually that fixes with a reboot--no luck here--same thing happens when i reboot.
May be that this needs to be run over a fresh install??--ill try on another comp.

Re: Eclipse Mod
I had a similar problem a few months ago on a friends computer. i never could track down the problem. it seems to happen on a very small percentage of computers so i am uncertain what is causing it.

Re: Eclipse Mod
I tried playing around with this mod - only played 2 turns, since I kept getting AI research errors - but otherwise this looks like a great total conVersion... anyone want to start a game on PBW?
