JONESIE'S ENHANCEMENT MOD v1.2b
I have been moding Bitrh of the Federation for years now. initially using DCER's Ultimate Editor just to change the names of ships and buildings to "imitate" other species.
the i learnt (slowly) how to modify BOTF in-depth including extreme hex-editing. i then produced a mod called jonesies legacy/beginning mod. It worked perfectly for me but not on anybody else's machines unfortunately.
2 months ago i came back to the community and realized with such happiness that monumental break-throughs have been made!
i decided to go back to the drawing board and include as many of these new break-throughs as possible in my new mod.
the Concept was to concentrate on Generic Enhancement to slow down the progression of the game in a balanced manner. however i seem to have spent alot of time adding as many new ships as possible! anyway, i would like your opinion and/or suggestions
