This sounds like a great mod for PBW, but if you have removed "1) removed DUC, APB, PPB, MB, Quantum Reactors and Stellar Manu." What is left?

Racial weapons, torpedos, GHB, etc. Plenty of weapons. Just the uber ones are gone.

That part started with my idea to disable MB, PPB and APB and require players to take 2 racial tech traits.

At. I have never played the mod... So i do not know what the players are using in the mid to late stages of the game.

Perhaps some of them can answer.

Most take at least one advanced racial tech tree.

In the first sweet game, I took no racial trait. I used GHB's w/repulser, and Rippers w/repulser, and Torpedoes. I got my arse handed to me when I thought I was all powerful. Won't make that mistake again.

In another sweet game, I took Crystal/Religious and I am doing OK. Crystal is a bad race. Yes it's nice to combine War shrine, death shrine, and crystal (shield boost) facility, but think about it. They only work when you are fighting in your own system. When this happens, you are usually not far from death.

The viable way to play these sweet games, IMHO, is with Organic, Psychic, or Temporal as these racial weapons are very good indeed.

This is why I have weakened Component Versions of some of these facilities in Adamant Mod.

I was trying to find a place to download the mod - so I checked the official mod list and could not find this mod listed. This is strange.

The official mod list does not list mods created for specific games. That is not its purpose. The sweet mod is just a glorified game mod to my knowledge.
