Expanded Minor Ship List
Using the UE and Ship list based on Gowron's most excellent BOP mod I decided to add an upgrade path for each of Minor Races ships, as to me it seemed silly that they don't get better as the Minor's get better tech. I've been playing a game with them and thought I'd share the results.
By creating a upgrade tree as the Minor's tech improves they will produce the best ship(s) they can, I set the tech required for the next tier as 2 highier than the previous and have seen Minor Races Ships III's about at around 160-180. Though unfortunately ships they have already built aren't upgraded to the new standard. If any one has any ideas if this is possible it would be most welcome as this has made encounters with space faring minors much more challenging as the game progresses.

Re: Expanded Minor Ship List
I don't think there's a known way to upgrade minor ships yet.
Also keep in mind difficulty setting predicts the minor start evolution level (EL), wich predicts the techlevels (beside modding of course).timmy_r_p wrote:have seen Minor Races Ships III's about at around 160-180.
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

I tried doing something like this a while ago, though i think it was before the breakthrough in extending the shiplist and i ended up making the list to big with the additions to the minor's upgrades and it was fouling the game up when the random aliens turned up.
long story short.: Is there any limit to how many ships we can have in the game now providing it's done by using the existing models for the minor ships for each of their upgrades?
