Best Mod for solo play?

It's not just the existence of warp points, it is the basic premis of building an empire in space.

That has nothing to do with how Proportions is not really any more realistic than the normal game. Some things may appear more realistic with how you have changed them, but they are still not realistic. Populations do not just grow at a constant rate and then stop at some arbitrary point. Even when Proportions slows down the rate of growth, there is still the same unrealistic model of population growth as in the normal game.

[PvK]

Well measurements of realism are subjective in many ways. To my own standards, Proportions is much more realistic. For the specific example of population growth, I think of population as a semi-abstract mechanic, and in practice, planets in Proportions are almost never "full" - when they are, it abstractly represents the limit of an environment to support more (abstract) useful civilian elements.

Not that this is on-topic. Maybe an admin could move these Posts to another thread, since they've sidetracked this one.

No, they don't move Posts to other threads when they get side-tracked here on Shrapnel.

I'm with PvK here. Proportions is FAR more realistic than the unmodded game.
Try transporting a 100 million people in cargo containers for several months and you'll see what you have in there at the end of the trip.....

[Fyron]

No, it is just as unrealistic as the unmodded game. A few items like that might make a bit more sense, but you still couldn't transport 1 million people in a single ship for months on end with no problems.

Fyron, how in the world can you admit that the mod makes improvements, while still claiming that the mod is just as unrealistic!?!

[Fyron]

It doesn't necessarily make improvements, it makes changes. The changes are not necessarily any more or less realistic.
