any help is welcome, this mod isn't even completely started yet, some of this is from the "[WIP] Fleet Diversification Mod"

if you took part in that mod,  and still have the files that went in it, could you please pm(Could I have them have them?) me so that i can give you an email to send it to.

Looks pretty ambitious. I should point out that the game in its current form probably can't handle that many factions (if they all have unique ships anyways) without going over the ram limit, though Stardock has claimed they are working to resolve that.

-the new vasari faction uses the same ships as that standard vasari,the only change will be a slightly larger fleet supply(about 3000 instead of 2000)

-the mars mining, Venus trade, and earth republic factions will also share all the same structures and ships, except for differences between the tactical slot count of trade ports, and refineries

-there will basically be the equivalent of three new factions with two having sub factions.

-all new structures will use already existing meshes

i currently already have the entity files for the TEC repair fighter finished, and their support carrier started, its ability files are also finished. all that is left for it is the other two types of support fighters, a their abilities, and all names and descriptions, they currently will use existing strings, the TEC antifighter defense platform is also done.

 

 

Should i take fighters ,and carriers and use them in a seperate mod, and then just create the two three new races, and their sub factions?
