Progressively heavier mounts that have reduced accuracy and increased range and damage, mounts that increase range and size (and cost) but not damage, combinations of mounts.

Basically, something like Master of Orion 2 had. I miss my heavy continuous fire automatic shield piercing extended firing arc phasors. There is no reason in stock Space Empires IV to pick any mount other then the largest available.
Check out Deathstalkers Mount Mod and AJC Mount Mod.

All that can be on mines is various types of warheads and cloaking devices. Check out Adamant and P&N for mods with lots of different kinds of damging warheads. Adamant has cloaking separated from the mine hulls for the mines, allowing even more development.

Would these just be a 10 kT comp that gives the same levels as the normal components? Or a 20 kT? Or maybe reduced effectiveness? Please specify.

  • Realism, to the point of absurd if you must. including solar systems, descriptions, etc
  • Meaningful descriptions (esp. usage of the hull description feature)
  • A gravity racial tech i would enjoy
  • Some thought given to better weapon balance
  • Optional - custom racestyles with history and a campaign scenario
  • SP-compatible
  • Expanded and reviewed stock racial techs
  • Rework of the mount model
  • Expanded cultures
  • AI to use the new features of the mod
  • Good developer support
  • New, original graphics
  • Size vs Power balance reviewed (more usefulness to smaller ships, and some to fighters)

My 2 cents. looks much more than 2 cents tho One day, i'll get around to try and assemble at least some of these into a mod of my own. maybe.

Many mods have most of your list Taera. The gravity tech is the major lacking one, as you have already said you don't like that in P&N.
