Space Empires IV Accessories and Enhancements

[Black_Knyght]

I just bought a copy of SEIV Deluxe for a friend, and I'd like to also burn him a disc with all the additional goodies needed to play the game to it's fullest.

I know he'll need a patch, and a few other goodies, so I thought I'd post the question here:

<font color="blue">What are the top ten most useful/essential/beneficial additions needed to enhance SEIV gameplay ?</font>
(<font color="red">excluding Mods, of course, because those I have already dealt with...</font>)

If you've got mods, I presume you've got the image packs.

- Erases the black border, makes all the windows movable, and allows shift-click &amp; CTRL-click to add/remove 10 or 50 components at a time on the design screen.

- Good for multiplayer simultaneous games over a LAN, option to blink the keyboard lights to show who is done.

- Simulates a ship taking damage, useful for observing the fancy effects that leaky shields and armor have. Good for improving your designs in a mod with such features.

I hadn't heard of those three, though I will be sure to add them now.

By the way, exactly what is the latest Image Pack?

You might as well send the shipset megapack too.
At 120 megs, it is a prime candidate for CD delivery.

Thanx, and the Shipset MegaPack is a great idea too.
