Anything Yet?

Any mods for dl yet? I've not seen any links yet for a dlable mod and for some odd reason I'm already bored with the existing systems. Also what folder is the information for the ship size/cost in, I've not seen that either. Is the modding different than se4 in many ways?

Have you looked in Topic: Big List of Mods & Stuff - ok, fine comments too. ?

I have had a physics mod posted there for a while now; P&N Homefront.

Aye I've seen it, so there's only one out so far. No way to mod the systems then?

The systems are moddable.
P&N-ism has a "realistic" Sol system, made by Rollo, with a most impressive asteroid belt.

The linkages between systems are very easily changed too.

I just never had any reason to change them, since my mod uses the stock plotline, and only makes big changes to the physics of the universe.

I'm working on one..first step is to make the stores a bit more interesting.

Until someone releases a program to mod the galaxy (hint hint, Aaron) I don't think you're going to see any new ones for quite some time. The data files are enormous, and tedious to mod with a text editor.

I've already copmpleted most of a graphics overhaul for my mod, but I see little point in continuing. I just don't have the time to create the mod I want to make. WE NEED MORE MODDING TOOLS.

Amen to that brother Wydraz

Hear hear. The Triangle has 127 star systems - that's gonna take time. I've got the components mostly done, then I have to reassign ship models (I don't suppose there's any way to import Starfleet Command shipmodels into Starfury...?

). Then I gotta play the thing and swat the bugs. I cranked out the Highliner Mod for SEIV in a few weeks. This one's gonna take a little longer...

I am making slow, but steady progress with my mod. Right now I am basicly adding more stuff to the first campaign like more ships, sites, jobs, and space monsters.
Eventually I want to make a different storyline as well, but that is some time off, I assume.
