If you've been waiting for a sale, this is as low as the price will probably ever go. Enjoy!

<t> Just wanted to drop into this thread again to say what a beautiful little gem this graphic mod is! Thank you so much for posting this.<br/>

Now the map isn't insanely cluttered, but I still get the feel of a sprawling, vibrant empire with all my little civilian worker bees zooming around ...

Cool stuff! I'll try this out. I agree that the default symbols for civilians always made the map extremely cluttered.

I'm working on this mod and another one for Sword of the Stars. Hoping to get them both ready to publish for this weekend. If not, next week for sure.

Looking forward to your update! I adore your mod!

<r> My main desktop (Intel i5-4670, 16GB Memory) experiences pretty awful UI lag. Game speed is fine, but zooming in/out, map scrolling, and battle animations all have pretty substantial lag.<br/>
<br/>
The irony is that the game runs fine on an older work system of mine (Q6600, 8GB Memory), and ...

Bump for one hour left!

I've just updated this mod to version 2.0, so I'm giving it a bump, in case anyone is interested ...

Thank you, Osito!!! I absolutely adore your research mod. I use it with Mordachai's bundle of moddy ...

I just wanted to drop in and say how much I've enjoyed your mod since I started playing a year ago.

I can't remember ever playing a game without it. Thanks so much for your work on this!

<t> Congrats, Memilanuk! There is so much to learn in this game, and it can be quite daunting when you first dive in.<br/>
<br/>
And everyone has their own unique play-style, so you just have to find what you enjoy most in the game and go with that.<br/>
<br/>
I'm glad you succeeded in your ...

<t> Yeah, I find dedicating fleets to specific types is the most efficient way to tackle organization in this game.<br/>
<br/>
Refueling can get a little crazy, as your fleets and fuel tanks get larger as the game goes on. The best way I find to solve this is to design a dedicated "refueling ...

<t> I'm a bit unclear if you're having trouble with the strategy or the logistics of conquering planets from other empires, so I figured I'd give you a general rundown of my approach. (I always have everything set to manual, so all my advice will be based on doing everything yourself)<br/>

<t> The economic crisis is a random event. These can be turned off in the options at the start of the game. (There's no option to turn off specific event, just all random ones.)<br/>

You can attack pirates without declaring war. (However, doing so will break any protection agreement you've ...

<r> I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to set pirates to week/few/far away. <E>:P</E><br/>
<br/>
It's always a supreme challenge for me to survive harder pirate settings early on. I should probably push myself, but I enjoy the build-up of the early game the most, and having pirates zooming ...

Just wanted to pop in and show my support. I've been enjoying your collection of mods immensely in my latest game. Thanks for taking the time on this! <3

Getting so close... I can almost taste the caslon!

<r> Regarding your building a small gas mining station at most fuel sources-<br/>
<br/>
Do you do this regardless of the amount of fuel? Like even on a crappy 24% caslon gas giant? I'm actually not sure how fast those lower end fuel sources fill up their cargo bays, as I usually skip any resources ...

Or at least be able to send a construction ship to disassemble them for tech like abandoned ships.

Paratis interface is swanky. Nice work!

Securans are my favorite race! Something about sexy green humanoid aliens who are super happy and have a high reproductive rate that just works for me.

Can't wait to see their interface.
