Played a 0.95.1a game with Audio Plus, HTE, Interstellar Imperium, Nexerelin, SpeedUp, Tahlan, Underworld, XhanEmpire and the necessary libraries. Fell back to my usual use of fast, warping, high tech ships. Built up a nice empire but then grew bored with further play.
Started a 2nd 0.95.1a game with Apex Design Collective, Audio Plus, Dassault-Mikoyan_Engineering, HMI, Interesting Portraits Pack, Interstellar Imperium, Kyeltziv Technocracy, Legacy of Arkgenisis, Nexerelin, Osiris Alliance, Outer Rim Alliance, prv.Starworks, Scy Nation, Slightly Better Tech-Mining, SpeedUp, Terraforming and Station Construction, Unknown Skies, VAO and the necessary libraries.
Mods I really liked in this 2nd start: Slightly Better Tech-Mining and prv.Starworks. Nexerelin, of course, is such a great mod.
This 2nd start, I disabled Hegemony, Tri Tach, Luddic Church and Path. Forced myself to use new ships. Got rid of annoying AI raids by Hegemony. Disabled Luddic Church and Path because they caused too many easy, boring battles. Been having a lot of fun with this and have built up a nice empire using tons of AI on my planets. Thinking of trying to take planets from the most aggressive, expansive faction which are the Kyeltziv Technocracy.
One thing I'd warn against is adding a faction mod that doesn't have their own battleships. Fleets full of mostly only that faction's cruisers is not that great for the game.
