Welcome to the LARGE MOD collection. Mods that add fancy graphics to your game, amongst other things. These mods tend to be larger then those of the tiny mod collection. TINY MOD collection! Check out Vandal's Shipyard!

Don't forget to check out the Starfarer WIKI guys!

I am always looking for donation mods to add to the list. If you have a mod of a similar vain let me know about it and I'll see to it that it gets added.

What is Z*-lock?: Z*-lock mean that the mod has a Z and an extra character in front of its name in your mod selection list. This puts all those mods at the bottom of your mod list where they stay out of the way of all your other more important full graphical mods made by other people . It also categorizes them together by type predetermined by myself, which can be handy.
What is vandala ID?: This just means the ID of the mod has my forum name attached to it to prevent ID conflicts with other mods that might share an otherwise similar ID. As long as no one else uses this name in their mod ID's everything should work smoothly. I decided to do this because these mods are getting kinda numerous and they are of a rather general type.
Vandala Portrait Name: Portraits with the same name cause problems even if they originate from different mods, the portraits in this mod prevent name duplication errors by having the creators name inserted into the portraits picture name. As long as no one else uses the same name for their portrait picture names everything should work without a problem.
What is hidden?: Hidden mean the mod contains stuff that is not visible without manual editing. This material can be activated by removing # symbols from within the mod files.
What is broken?: Broken is the same as hidden but for a different reason, a part of the mod does not function the way it should. This material can be activated by removing # symbols from within the mod files.

There are more links in my repository.

New mod: Digging up and old classic. It does not have the exact same stats as the original Red Tempest. But the mission is a lot of fun, dodge those missiles boys!

11 new mods, all backgrounds. You've probably already seen all of these and if you haven't, go and check out the mods where they have come from.

Another 9 background mods. That's it for background mods for now, I have no more planned. However, I'll be happy to turn any nice picture you have into a background mod if you ask me. Or you can just dive into the tiny innards of one of these mods to see what makes them tick, they are very simple.

Apparently I had some more backgrounds after all. Quite a lot of them actually. This should really be the last of them.

Portrait Mod - The Friendship is Magic Bundle (1.46 MB): (Z*-lock, vandala ID, vandala portrait name, hidden)
Adds 11+59 male/female portraits. *2 hidden mild nudity picture

 :o ?! MLP - Friendship is (mild) porn ? Not sth I'd expect to see when playing mod based on a cartoon about little ponies  ;D. Vandala you sure it's a good idea to put that stuff in a mod potentially targeted by kids? I know it's mild and I do think it's an interesting idea to add to a sci-fi mod but not necessarily this one.  Maybe it would be a good idea to put the 'spicy files' in a password protected archive and send it by pm to the interested adults or sth ?  :-\ Dude, U might get skinned and eaten alive (they wouldn't even spare the hat and the cloak) by the religious types if there are any here :P

LOL, and finally they notice.  ;D  Alto the majority of the fanbase is older males, so I don't see MLP as targeted for kids.

Don't worry, most will never see it as those parts are hidden, you'll have to manually edit the mod to get those pictures to show in-game.

Also, *** the religious. I'll remove such content if I get a word from Alex. But it's hidden and really, really mild though, nothing like this stuff I was hoping to do with other mods, so I don't really see it being a problem.

EDIT: I gave my word to Alex not to put any real pornographic content on this site so I won't, the hidden stuff is already a precaution because some people can be too, hmm, sensitive? Yeah let's go with that, too sensitive.
EDIT: Also, its not porn, its very mild nudity, those things are not the same. If I was going to do porn... heh-heh-heh, you'd see some weird ***.

What? Bring where? I don't know what you mean but I doubt Alex would appreciate it. Best to let those stay a mystery.

Mwhahahahaha... If only they knew my grand designs. The terrible idea that play in my head.

FINALLY!!! It's here, my beloved Tau Manta (thank you Okim!), and now everyone can play with it. If you wanted a super missile platform with the durability of a cruiser then you're in luck.

  • The Tau Manta (62.55KB): (vandala ID) !NEW!
    Ship Mod - Cruiser - Adds a Tau Manta inspired ship to your starting fleet. The picture of the ship was a gift from Okim.
