[In-Progress] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack

I would be happy to have all my non trek ship sets added.

Oooh, yeah, shipsets.
How many shipsets are in that huge compilation torrent?

200 plus I think.

Id love to see it. I recently tried to re-create my personal mod and ran into alot of problems. I didnt keep track originally of what I put into it but after loading the SEIV on my other desktop that I got with my copy of SEV I was shocked at the difference. I think there is a LOT of neutral stuff that can be incorporated into a single expansion pack which would allow other more specialized mods to run without conflict. Run better in fact since some seem to take for granted that I have capabilities that dont seem to be in place such as extra formations or attack instructions.

Somehow I ended up with:

of course all of the added graphics

huge galaxies (Fyrons Quadrant thing)

a couple of hundred shipsets which I mostly added one at a time.

an extensive list of emperor titles, and types of government, and all the other choices for creating a race

extended neutral races (altho I think I might have done that myself)

extended AI's

extra ship-name lists (some of which I might have done myself)

extra formations and default instructions for ships

space monsters and pirates

Yikes! The number of new races should probably be edited down to about 3-5, based on image quality, AI quality, and how they mesh with the overall look and feel of stock SE4.

3 to 5? I would argue the point but I dont think I have to. Once you start looking thru the files you will up that number Im sure.

Im fairly picky, and even leaving out all the joke ones, ones based on tv or movies, ones which seemed to basically be duplicates, Id still guess it to be closer to 100.

One thing I WOULD like to see is the same race done multiple times. I did it with the neutrals. They had the same portrait, ships, nation name, etc. But they had different setings on what they liked and didnt like, tactics, mood, etc. That way meeting them didnt automatically tell me what would work and not work.
