You should make a good faith effort to contact the mod author first.

Try not to go too overboard with such mechanics. Civ 5 went way off the deep end, severely penalizing anything past 4 cities*. Takes the epicness right out of 4X IMO.

* Once you go past the easier ...

Shields are treated as general HP in ground combat. There is no concept of component damage, regeneration, phasing, emissive effects, etc. All weapons do range 1 damage every round, regardless of fire ...

Take a look at the Multimedia Pack for some extra assets you might be able to use. It contains a lot of new planet textures, for example. If you want to use the MMP, you should generally refer users t ...

That's the problem. In se4, all space vehicles have innate level 1 em active and em passive scanning abilities. That stealth armor is useless as a cloaking device.

What does this "stealth armor" have in terms of abilities?

One way to achieve such an effect would be to make individual components smaller. Try not to go too far, though, lest you end up needing 200 components to design a frigate. Cool

That looks like Windows 7 used some sort of bad software detection to fake it out. Never saw Vista or XP do that. Smile

Ideally SE5 would put save files (as well as user mods/etc.) somewhere in "C:\Users ...

Some of the facility abilities do not get included in the planetary production display, although they do count and do affect the total empire production rates. Don't recall off-hand if system resource ...

Move the game outside of the "program files" folder, and you will not need admin priveleges to edit the files. Something like "C:\Games\SE4" (or 5) will work fine. There should be no need to reinstall ...

I disabled the phpbb profile scripts to reduce the vectors for spambot account creation a few years ago. Didn't realize it was what was used for avatar uploading..

You don't have to add any AI empires, the game will generate them for you. When the game starts, it generates a random number based on the "number of empires" setting you selected. It will then procee ...

Limit here is 10MB on some files & I think 30MB on others. No chance I can squish it down that small. I'll have to find some other hosting site. I guess nothing's ever easy.
The upload limit on t ...

While technically feasible, it's generally a bad idea to allow planet destroyers to destroy constructed planets in a mod. Doing so allows the generation of infinite planets, and thus infinite resource ...

You also need to adjust the size in StellarObjectTypes.txt.

It is not possible for a mod to alter the way movement and turns work.

I don't know if anyone has historically tested and documented exactly when star destruction occurs during the simultaneous mov ...

From a strategic perspective, 10x scale facilities are useless. Since you cannot gain any output until the whole thing is completed, you lose out on a lot of production points. If you build a 10x mine ...

Change the user authentication system to make it incompatible with scripts that target the software. Captchas are fun.

If you change the name of a tech area, you need to find all references to it in other data files and update them as well. Components, other tech areas, facilities, vehicles, and mounts can all referen ...

It goes on sale for pretty cheap randomly on Steam, usually during those summer/winter/forfunsies sale events. It's only $15 normally.

An .emp file is the saved state of an empire that was created in the game. You can use them to save your empire setup, and load it from a file, when starting a new game. You can also save the empire o ...

All of the stats appear to be correct. The ability descriptions were not updated appropriately; the [%ShieldPointsGenerated] tag doesn't work well in this case because the 20 converted hull > shiel ...

Luckily there aren't very many to look up..
