Default Re: Which shipsets are the best?

Major mods such as Proportions need AI's tailored for them. If you insert a TDM AI, it will malfunction (i.e. not perform very well, and perhaps even "cheat" in silly but generally unhelpful ways).

The pictures have nothing concrete to do with the AI except for AI's that cleverly try to tailor themselves to match the artwork, but that's an aesthetic issue.

So, you can take the AI from a race designed for a mod like Proportions, and overwrite the AI for a shipset whose AI is designed for unmodded, or for some other mod, and the result should work fine in Proportions - it'll behave like the AI you copied into it, but look like the new shipset.

The only tech type mod (new components, technologies, etc) that you can use TDM AIs in is P&N Mod, but you first have to use SJ's converter program to make them compatible with the mod, which can be found on his website: http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/

You can use TDM AIs in various system/quadrant mods fine, such as Admiral's System Mod, Quad Mod, Krsqk System Mod, and Fyron's Quadrant Mod. You should also be able to use them in some "mount mods," such as Deathstalker's Mount Mod.

As far as personal favourite shipsets (visually speaking) I have always liked the Zeta Reticuli and the Technocratic Enclave.
