ok thx for the info. then there is peace until friday :D

@sir_avenger currently there is a bug in the mod that disables the faction ceremonies in the custom start, I will try to upload a fix on Friday

how can you buy new weapons/ships? Even with rank 25 or more to ARG, ZYA and MRG i don't get promoted or can talk to the faction leaders. I'm stuck to the starting equipment.

I'd kill for a boron / split version of this

I was always a fan of the warfare and fleet actions in the base-game moreso than the trading and economics (blasphemy, I know), so I really like this idea. One thing I would suggest is to really juice the opposing forces fleets and push the numbers of active combatants in any given battle. Since we aren't simulating the entirety of the universe and the uninvolved factions, this should mean that the moment-to-moment performance of set-piece battles will be way better than they are in vanilla. If you could somehow finagle a way to make a custom game start with this where you can pick which factions you want to be duking it out, that would be awesome. In lieu of that, I'd love a classic Terran vs. Argon version of this set in the border sectors.

Very fun idea. Reminds me of Starcraft Broodwar, custom scenarios. My idea suggestion would be hide and seek. Only a few Sectors, the Player has to get themselves or escort others through enemy territory. The enemy is superior in numbers and firepower. (would be even cooler if the enemy ships had limited radar, like only half radar distance, or only forward radar. But I don't know anything about code.)

sexy

Interesting, I like concept but not what it does to galaxy.
