21st Century Mod preview

The 21st Century Mod has a website now (not much of one, but still...)
And you can download the work-in-progress data files - yes, it does load up into SE5!

Note that you should probably be a gas-giant native oxygen breathing race and start with all technology, due to the data files not being complete

Gauging interest in various mods

So I've got several ideas for mods that have been floating around in my head, and I was wondering which if any I should spend more time on. (I've done some mucking around with the data files on a few of these but I may have to scrap that once the patch comes out if there are too many radical changes to the stock files.)

Anyway, here are my ideas:
1. Antares Mod - A mod based on the Master of Orion universe, with the Sakkra, Meklars, Stellar Converters, Time Warp Facilitators, etc. Mainly based on MOO2 because that's my favorite of the series, but a few of the good elements of MOO3 (the Harvester and Etherean races come to mind ) will be thrown in just for fun. It's surprising how many of the stock SE5 races can be mapped quite well to MOO races - the Sergetti in particular look almost identical to MOO3's version of the Trilarians! 8O

Whoa, I can post blogs!

Hey, sweet, someone enabled blogging for regular users!
Or maybe I had to hit 50 posts first, who knows?
In any event, here's my first Space Empires blog...
Hmm, what to say??? I never know
Well, let's see, I have some Space Empires stuff on my pathetic excuse for a website:
http://kolis.dyndns.org/ed/se/
Just some SE4 shipsets (Fractalian and Frozo), the Low Tech Mod (also for SE4), and the 1.95 patch (dunno why I have that up )
Maybe I'll actually put up some, I dunno, colors and tables and other website-y type stuff that you might expect to find...
Oh yeah, there's also the templatizer for SE4, in a separate section of the site:
