Been a long time...
Hi people. Its been quite some time since I have posted on these boards. Finally got back to playing SE4 again. 
Wanted to ask someone on here how Suicide Junkie made "Newtonion Propulsion" with SE4. I'm trying to make a mode for SE4 and I want to have bigger ships require hefty engines in order to more faster in space, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can someone give me an example how to do this?

Engines per move, movement rating of engine.

Re: Been a long time...
Detailed explanation (in the readmes) of various modding concepts, including QNP, can be found here:
http://www.spaceempires.net/home/modworks-concepts.html
An alternate model, also illustrated, is mQNP, which uses mounts to scale engine size with ship hull. This directly makes engine components larger on larger ships, rather than requiring more engine components. It does pose issues with Ionic Dispersers which should be addressed in any mQNP mod, but they are minor.

You can also find explanations of some of these systems in the Advanced Modding Tutorials thread:

Re: Been a long time...
Hmm... didn't think about using the weapon mounts option for engine size. I might look into using that.
Another question, I want to add to my mode but have no idea on how to start implementing them is limited Technology trees. In Master of Orion II, most races in that game were limited in what tech they could research. In one particular feild, you had multiple choices of what tech you wanted to research, but once you reserched the desired tech the other Technology in the same feild were not researchable. You either had to trade tech to get these "lost" tecnhology or steal it from somebody. Can this type of system be implemented into SE4?

Re: Been a long time...
No, it's not possible. You can use a racial trait to provide a given race certain technologies, but you can't block a tech area when another one is researched. Perhaps in SE:V?
