Default Re: Space Empires - Starfury: Data/Campaigns

The P&N-ism physics mod for the stock campaigns is there.
P&N-ism makes Very significant changes:
- lifesupport requirements are directly based on crew capacity.
- slowish repairs based on amount of crew.
- Shields are relatively weak, but regenerate.
- Armor is quite tough and disposable; it is actually cheaper to scrap the old plates and buy new ones than to repair them.
- A wide variety of weapons. Trade off damage rate for tonnage and energy use.
- Reworked energy system. It is entirely possible to ply the spaceways with no reactors, and recharge massive batteries when you visit spacedocks, but having a tiny reactor to trickle-charge your ship between battles is very handy.
- Big ships are actually scary. You can't win against a battleship with a destroyer... not a chance. You can, however skirmish with one, and distract it long enough to complete a defend mission if you're good at dodging fire.
- And more!

Also posted there is a pair of minimods, including:
- Supersize mod: Ships are teeny, planets and stuff are HUGE.
- Newtonian physics mod: engines provide turning and acceleration only, max speed is almost infinite. If your engines take damage, you will simply coast along until you smash into something or manage to repair them. Be sure to apply the brakes well before you reach your destination

And there is a mirror of the BSG mod too.
