Hi there,
as a fresh DW player (I bought the Universe edition and upgraded recently to 1.9.5.10) I'm thrilled by the different mods available, and by this one in particular.
First of all the soundtracks are amazing, but I like the whole setting. :)

Still there are some concerns I'd like to state, and maybe some1 has some advice or can solve this:
- Some systems on the map are named "abundantly", e.g. Lekku system, where Lekku is the name of one planet, most others named Foselu ##. That means the star would normally be named Foselu too. (Some more systems have this same problem, some others just repeat the inhabited planet's name for the star)
- The influence range for colonies seems to be bugged, at least for some factions.
- Not all factions who need it have access to the warpfield pre-cursors. It should be within their home system, because the necessary researching takes enough time to stall them.
- Maybe its a little too unbalanced to let some factions start with lots of tier 3 techs, giving them a decent head start.

This leads me to the sad conclusion that beside one or two favorable factions its not worth my time, sorry to say that.
Of course I'm hoping there may be a solution to these topics in the not too far future ;)

Mod looks interesting but I'm curious about the size of the world. I believe there is a lot that can happen to make this game interesting in moving . Lots of small factions and pockets of rebels in the galaxy, along with the various other smaller factions.

Great mod. I have been playing it a bit. I would like give you one good idea for improve it easily.

I have seen how you found problems searching images from ships. You can make them if you use by example pictures from Star Wars Empire at War models, there is a small tool named aloviewer http://modtools.petrolution.net/ which it lets you take screenshots from a model. You can load them with a top view and after it, you can edit the screenshot with any image editor. I have checked it and it will work.

Next if you search in mods, you can find thousands of different units from SW. By example at my EAW/FOC mods, you can find many new units and specially many new stations, more than at other mod. http://www.moddb.com/mods/foc-alliance-22x

Other option for search models can be the old Xwing Alliance games. There is a tool named optgl or some like this (sorry I do not remember the name at 100% and I´m not at home). With this tool, you can take pictures from the game models as at EAW. I can give you the tool if you contact with me by private message by example and you give me a email address.

Well, I tried by myself, just for personal use, the addition from from some new ships at your mod and it looked good. Perhaps I would like edit it at 100% but I have not time for this and I would not publish it without your permission. However, who knows........

However, if you want my help with this, you can get it. I can spend some of my huge free time with this.

When I start the game as the New Republic, the ships that are given to me automatically at the very beginning have hyperdrives, these ships are currently above the tech level that you start out with, because when my empire automatically builds private cargo ships or when I build other military ships, they lack hyperdrives and other advanced technologies. Is this norma
I have the same problem. I think this break the early game a little bit.
