Allows HyperDrive engine use in a no warp point game. AI is also able to use the drive. AI is based on stock SEV 1.74.

There may be some annoying messages about losing and gaining contact because of opening and closing WPs, but the AI and game run smooth.

This conversion mod aim to improve the original concept of Space Empire. Each weapons are now unique, and several new components for ships have been added. Also, armor and shields work differently. All armor negate some damage now, but most weapons can penetrate armor if they are powerful enough (the damage negation prevent this). Armor also take less damage to itself than internals. Internal structure improve with armor level, no matter the level of the device.



Special weapons have been improved so they are more useful, even and mostly in end-game. Of course, all this would be meaningless if the weapons worked the same way they do in the stock game. Weapon scale differently depending on their class and use, and large anti-ship weapons cannot aim at small units or seekers. There is a lot more to think about when designing ships with this mod. Units have also been balanced the same way as ships, in the same spirit as the rest of the mod.



On the planet front, structures have different tonnage, the more powerful tend to take more space than the more basic ones. They too have more structure points with each armor level. Some structure are weaker than their tonnage so they are more likely to be destroyed in combat. Speaking of which, planets are harder to kill in this mod, using bombardment tools might be a wiser choice. Supply and ordnance production have been improved, as well as planet's capacity for stock piling them. Keeping your ships supplied won't be a problem unless you have a large fleet fighting far from home.

Proportions Mod for SE5. The mod is playable but is still in need of play-testing. It is planned for completion before the end of 2007. Feedback is very much welcome.

This mod revamps the governments and makes some balance changes to the racial traits. The proposed changes will bring a MUCH larger dynamic to the game as you must be cautious as to what races you invite into your empire. You have to contend with your Tyrannical ways. You must submit to the collective way of things. You must put your Queen first in all things, etc, etc. The premise behind the Government changes is to make the people stand up and be heard! The mod gives every race but Oligarchy equal pluses and minuses. The standard deviation is that each Government with have +50 and -50 in advantages and disadvantages. This way each type is equal in the positives and the negatives. The Racial traits needed a little balancing plus tweaking a few things here and there.

A Starfire-esk mod based of off BM 1.13 and including FQM as well. Adds divirsity to weapons especially missles. Furthermore two new units the Deep Space Bouy and Gunboat (Similar to larger Fighter that can use warp points). Not AI compatable yet.

This mod is based off Captain Kwok's Balance Mod. The biggest change from Balance Mod was to mod out research and intel. To get new tech levels you must now colonize planets with ruins. All planets should give at least one random tech level, and some planets may up to four tech levels. There are also the few unique tech areas.

Other small changes to the Balance Mod include a 5kt thin armor and smaller 10kt engines. This allows a bit more flexibility in ship speed and for filling up that last 5kt with armor. The smaller engines use slightly more supply per hex than the larger ones, and they are a tiny bit more expensive.

This little "mod" replaces most of the beeps and bops of the interface sounds with 1 ms of silence. Sounds like a window opening/closing, button presses, etc., that probably should never have existed in the first place, are dead. Hurrah!
