Hi,
Well school has had me pretty busy, but have had some time to sit down and start my Starfire mod, which was originally for vanilla sins moved over to Entrenchment. Not everything is here just yet. I have the new races: the Diplomats, The Infectors and the Traders and a Playable Pirates race. I have tweaked the new races to have different strengths than the original races, the diplomats rely heavily on culture and the traders on their increased amount of tradeships, the infectors on large quantities of cheap no armor, no shields ships. The Pirates on stealing and scavaging. 
In addition, i have moved over some of the original planets i had resized from Tohklidan's Celestial Bodies mod, thank you Tohklidan!!!! 
I also increased the cost for all ships, to make fleets smaller in the beginning of a game, and boosted certain attributes for each race, the advent have higher shields, the tec have higher armor, the vasari get faster ships. Something to keep everyone alive in the first few hard hitting attacks of the early game, but not to overdone to keep from building up and expanding in mid to late game.
Anyway, i just uploaded it to filefront and the link is here:

Link for revised 1h version - fixes inclucd new capital, abilities fixes and balanced spawn time for ships.

version 1k takes the costs of ships back down to normal, as well as balancing some of the unknown races' ability to spawn ships continuously, which was a good idea i thought when i gave them just the spawn ships, but with research it makes it more than a little overbearing, so i adjusted it. Also, i gave each race, well, tec, advent and vasari, not the other factions yet, the repair ability with one of the ships, tec already had it. A good thing to keep close in battles on far planets. Anyway, filefront uploading is on maintenance, so i uploaded to mediafire, the link is here. Let me know if im too far out of balance on these. Oh also, im getting ready to start a series of small mini-mods that can stack for entrenchment, im hoping that will be a good way to introduce some greater variety in the specs and maps. We will see of course if it works.
