newbie question

[Arakiel]

I see alot of custom shipsets that use "Neo" images and things like the "Huge Transport", what mod do I need to get in order to research and use these ship types? Thanks!

Welcome Arakiel!

Mods such as AIC or Proportions use images from Neoshipset mods. Devnull may be using a few as well, as the Highliner mod.

The links to all these mods can be found in the mod listing over at Malfadator Machinations site, on Spaceempires.net (http://www.spaceempires.net) or on the official sites of the mods' creators (when it applies).

Edit: I mentioned Pirates & Nomads, but if memory serves, the only non-standard image it adds is the Battlemoon.

Thanks Alneyan!

I've found the Proportions, Devnull and highliner mods, but I'm wondering if what you call the AIC mod is the AI Campaign? Thanks again!

[Alneyan]

Yes, the AIC mod is known as the AI Campaign as well.

Note, however, that all these mods also bring major changes to the game. For example, Proportions feature a much slower economical development, while the AIC mod strives at making the AI a much tougher opponent. To the best of my knowledge, there is no mod that "only" uses the hulls featured in "Neoshipsets".

OK sounds good. Time to break open the readme files http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks!

What about the Ultimate Vehicle Sizes Mod? Is that one still around and NeoStandard compliant?

[Fyron]

Why did noone point Arakiel to the home of the Neo-Standard? It tells you which mods support it. Well, I am sure there are a few new mods that it doesn't list, but that is ok... *hint hint*

Speaking of Neo-Standard...

I went to Dogscoffs site...and there was a link there for a neo-expansion pack, which makes the standard ships Neo-compliant.

I was going to get it, but the link was broke.

Anyone else have it?
