Impossible in SEIV, unfortunately due to hard coding. I shudder to think what a TDM race with high difficulty and bonus would do to me. But SEIII had it and we are told that SEV AI will also protect warp points. I can't wait to get killed by the SEV AI.

The hardest part of a megamod will be finding balance.
Good luck, and be sure to not fall into the trap of "oooh shiney ubertech!"

Ubertech is fun if balanced correctly...

Yes shiny weapons are a problem. I spent ages trying to balance mounted railguns in a mod. On the one hand they were clearly far too powerful at the high end, on the other hand I wanted them to uber and shiny just because it sounded cool.

A dreadnought mounting 16" railguns blasting huge ship killer rails! BLAM!!

Exactly my thoughts. Also, it is very likely the AI's won't work without Major editing.
