Well it evolved to something more productive and less cancerous than the first page...

I want to note here that I haven't deleted the thread. I'm obviously allowing the modding of the mod. My personal opinion is that people should try to respect what we've done here and understand why the mod isn't a capital spamfest, however I separate that from my role as 1/2 of the mod leadership. While I won't tolerate the sharing of edited files here*, I'm perfectly fine with people taking the effort to convert the files back to readable text and toying with it. People like OP may eventually learn enough to become part of the team for all I know. I really don't want people fighting with OP over this, feel free to continue the discussion. I suppose maybe I should be careful about sharing my opinions because of my status within the mod? Is it taken too seriously because of that? Either way, I'm sorry for causing this mess and I hope OP sticks around. I'm very happy you like the mod, as we've poured a lot of ourselves into it. So, let's let this thread get back to the topic at hand.
 
*My major concern about this is maintaining one line of integrity regarding the mod's balance. Having someone essentially creating a competing mod using our assets would certainly be troubling and I would do everything in my power to stop it, but what OP is doing is fine.

Also, just gonna point out:

The primary reason we don't leave our files in TXT format is for the small but relevant startup speed boost it provides. The difficulty to modmod is a side-effect of that

The best battles are defensive battles. You a hand full of SMACs, an Anchor Station and a small fleet a larger attacking fleet is way better then two massive fleets battling it out. It is fun to watch, but nothing compares to the excitement of desperately defending a planet.

That's what I do, send in a fleet to harrass them, then when they engage that fleet, let it go back to my planet with SMACs, AI follows it, gets wrecked

Obviously AI in your games don't use SDVs at all.

Lets make this clear people.... i have tons of ships... so does the enemy.,... we have the same number of supply count and they are Impossible AI's on cracks in aggresive stance... and i am fighting them 3 at a time... i dont have any performance issues either so i can afford playing like this for several hours...

Now that is what i call fun.... every 5 minutes there will be epic fight!

I think of it like chocolate... or chocolate cake.

I love epic battles as I love chocolate cake.

 

But I will run away if I have too much of either. Then epic battles and chocolate cake isn't as epic as it was in the first place. It has become common.

 

Also... I'm hungry now...

Someone fetch me a Sammich!!!
