OTHER MODS
- Half Fleet Point Mod (http://www.sendspace.com/file/yixvyf):
Halfs the fleet point of all Vanilla ships. Values are rounded down, this will upset the balance of varius ships. - Hard Mode (http://www.sendspace.com/file/24krso):
Replaces all non-starter vanilla variant files with upgraded vanilla variants. All ships now have all relevant hull modifications and maxed-out vents and capacitors. All ships that had front-type shields now have omni-type shields. The player's starter ships have bin limited to the Starter variants who have bin left unaltered. This should prove to be a much more difficult game. If you want an even greater challenge you'll refrain from using fighter wings. - Station Stocks Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/bij5ru) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
2 Mods. One adds everything you could ever want to all stations. The other does the same but also makes all station give everything away for free. A new game is required for this to work.
- Savegame Compression Mod (http://www.sendspace.com/file/sc6ifv) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
Enables the game's savegame compression option, this allows for much faster saving and loading. *WARNING* You will not be able to manually edit your saved games any more. - Fog-of-war Disabler Mod (http://www.sendspace.com/file/vygdlo) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
Disables fog of war in the game. - Simulation Opponents Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/g0qjm0) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
5 Mods. Each adds different opponent ships to the simulation battle accessible from your refit screen. They add quite a lot of them. - Resource Stack Size Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/tmcjhu) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
6 Mods. Changes the max stack size of you resources. These include Supplies, Fuel, Crew, and Marines. Swap them whenever you like.
If you swap and load a saved game the previous stack size might still apply, but pushing the sort button solves that. - Font Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/b1v0hx) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
48 Mods. These things SUCK. Not really worth it, has maybe 4 or 5 good ones but no font comes even close to the good look of what we already have.
I made these to see what secret fonts the game held but it turned out to be mostly worthless. Still, feel free to try them. - Default Background Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/c1yxyl) !NEW! vandala ID)
3 Mods. This mod bundle does not include any actual backgrounds, they just change the default background too one that already exist. The default background affects the background you see in the campaign, while at the main menu and in missions that do not have a preferred background specified.
- Sweet Start Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ynjfrm) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
6 Mods, one for each capital ship, accompanied by a fleet filled up to 100 point or close to it. - Capital Start Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ha6fao) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)

- Remove Faction Color Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/kx1dsr) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
6 Mods. One for each faction. Makes their faction color completely transparent. Use these at your own risk as things tend to get a little more difficult. - Pony Color Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/93n58o) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
6 Mods. Color your fleet with the color of one of the six main cast from the Friendship is Magic cartoon series. - Color Mod Bundle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ym250u) (Z*-lock, vandala ID)
30 Mods. Adds a little variety to your faction's color pallet. Swap them whenever you like.
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.

Silly idea, I know but hear me out.
What is we made a bunch of mods that add to the game without adding any graphics to it?
My quickstart mods are a good example, one of those only cost 15.3 kB in size. Granted that one doesn't do much but it's still something.
We need idea's, what are the things we can mod that doesn't take a lot of space?
Examples:
Increase diversity in hostile fleets.
Add more variants to the game.
Build your favorite startup frigate.
Is it possible to make enemy fleets more numerous?
Can we add more planets without big files to download?
