If... No, when! We figure this out, I`ve been thinking of creating a mod, maybe "Some realism" or just plain "Realism" -mod someday.
1. It will have those larger populations I`ve been planning (So far 1000 is the max pop of Gaia-type with all bonuses on high).
2. There will be a second upgrade to all ships, that "Ship x III" (I`ve already done that, although if we succeed, I must increase lethality x10, you don`t want to bomb a system for 100 turns in order to kill everyone
).
3. Larger maps, perhaps.
4. More buildings than in Vanilla (I already created an "Exotic fruit farm" for jungle type, and have copied some from those other mods as well for my own use at the moment, mostly from this new Ultimate Mod 5 from Dafedz).
5. That 1024 x 768 resolution from the beginning.
6. Tuned graphics (You`ve seen what I have done to the Federation ("What have I done!"
). It`s just that the original colors were a little like an assortment of fruits, I mean the feds were for the kids. I`ll tune the Romulans and Klingons also a little (just minor color changes in interface).
7. I`ve thought about replacing the Ferengi with the Dominion too.
8. Some modifications to the original ships (for example I have replaced the clumsylooking Nebula-class with the Galaxy-X (more predatory) as strike cruiser, and that UM4 Utopia-class heavy cruiser is now in Galaxy-X`s place).
9. Some QD patches, range and speed increases, territory claims larger etc.
10. There`s no 10 because there`s not enough room in the trek.exe!
