Thanks for the compliment!
But the Tessellate will build ONLY BA, if first you kill their DN ships!!!!

Yea... the AI doesn't scrap ships to replace old designes (just scrap when believe is out of resources), and then after reach the limit of ships that can build (based on his number of planets) only will build more if first lose ships...

One other note, I find the mini pictures of Tessellate fighers disorienting: it often looks like they're flying upside down or sideways.

Hehe, maybe it's a tactic to make trouble!

Seriously, I never had this problem... because always play simultaneous (even against the AI).

My only complaint is the poor artwork with the Vikings - I hope that they get upgraded at some point.

They are meant to have a hand-drawn look to them.

What's wrong with the Vikings? I think it's a nice and original break from those run-of-the-mill 3D shipsets.

Are the Tessellate part of the standard TDM distribution or are they a separate download?

Weren't they made after the Last Version of TDM was released?

Yes. They will be in the next TDM Version (thanks Mephisto!).
Then, the only way to get them is here:

Tessellate update AI to 1.0: Tesellate Version 1 Update.zip

Tessellate Complete 1.0 Version: Tessellate Version 1 Complete Files.zip

...I do not have the exact numbers in front of me, but the Fighter Weapons exclusively available to Organic races outdo all other Fighter Weapons but a great deal. They're really incredible and something one must take advantage of if one is playing an Organic race. This is probably the reason for the disparity you noticed.

I don't think so. smal TKP (physhic weapon) is as good as small electric discharge. But the best fighter weapon by far is small time distortion bLasts. Especially in late game when ships have 1000+ shielding.
