Good to know that You haven't shut down development of STPE Version 2.5. Thanks upfront! Mod is really great. Can't wait for 2.5 update

Ok. After first hour playing as Son'a I found following issues:<br/>
- Default Construction ship design larger than I can build (553) - propably the same for AI so they won't build those at the start which might actually make them stay in prewarp<br/>
- Ship design screen ...

<t> Drybreeze - kudos to all the hard work You're doing in here [&o] The mod scope and vision is amazing! I'll try with the version 0.2 and check the game play. <br/>

<r> I've started recently on Very Hard difficulty as prewarp Wekkarus empire and .. oh my! I was beaten so hard. Not sure if it was because of enormous number of pirates nearby which literally either destroyed all my mining stations or dry my coffers due to tribute. When I was planning to colonize ...

Hello there Blackstork. How's the progress with the A.64 or A.7 release ? Any chance to make it happen in March ?

Many thanks for the hard work to ehsumrell1 and the whole Trek Team. Just want to ask if there is included in the mod any sort of similar idea that Icemania did in AI Improvement Mod ? By that I mean any ship and base design templates that would help AI to be able to compete with Human.

Faaaaaar from dissapointment. I'm still impressed with the hard work of every modder that contributed to this fantastic 'expansion' !

Awesome. Looking forward to A7 intensely.

Same here. I guess they're planning a ChristmA7 gift [;)]

@CyclopsSlayer - Although I agree that Icemania's AI Improvement Mod is doing great job as for AI way of ship design - it's still better option to turn off the tech trading. It's still a potential money exploit.

@Blackstork - Thanks for the update

How are You guys doing with the A.7 update ? Any estimates for the release date ? And once again thanks for Your hard work. This mod's totally awesome. Cheers.

My fav is Wekkarus so I vote for them.

Blackstork - any ETA for A.7 release ?

Can't wait for next release. Honestly - this modpack is like DistantWorlds 2.0. Great job by all modpack authors [&o]

As for me I usually set colonization range to 2 sectors however I rarely play on clustered galaxy map type. Although If You like to play on Cluster map type I would strongly suggest to keep at least this range to '2' or even '3'.
