Do you still keep this mod updated for yourself? If you do, please share it!

[rxnnxs]

Yes I do, it all works.
If you look into steam, there are my mods also.
This mod here is looking old, but it works.

Is this link working for you?

You could use then "xOrbit" and "Ships_n_Weaps_S"
The one makes the orbits better, the other one makes ships and weapon effects smaller.

Here I have made a Video where you can see it.
Unfortunately, I have tuned down the ingame sounds so you will not here anything of that. Just my voice

Here is a BETA mod-Tool where you can change your Orbits and Diameters for yourself!!!

There is one more thing that I would like to be available. it is an opportunity for the atmosphere on the planet to be deeper then now. This thought occurred to me when I was first landing on the Dhayt planet to conquer and troop transports came so close to the surface and drop the pods. And when the pods began to approach the surface, Dhayyt air defence begin to shoot them down on the way. It was so epic and cinematic to me, to watch the battle in low orbit that i realized the great potential of this wonderful game to became true star of 4x games. If it was possible to give the player to experience low orbit battles and planet invasions more closely, it would be very addicting to me and i I guess not only me.) As I myself, have never had such a great experience before in 4x games!

Could you explain this a bit more and talk about it or even make some more screenshots of it?
It is very interesting to hear that you could dive into the game.
The time you wrote this, I was very intreted bt did not see a possibility.
Now I could try it out a bit more, but I do not understand where the ships were attacked. You mean in orbit while some pods were going through the atmoshpere?
There are I think possibilities to change the atmoshpere and the height of the mountains.
I could write an extra tool that takes care of that. Then you could yourself find the best values for that.

Some functions re not working. I work on a fix.

Besides that, one important Note:
All changes on the Planet and Moon Parameters are only affecting the Objects that are at the beginning of the game uncolonized.
Colonized Planets are generated internal for the races itself. No possible change here possible.

here we have: the nicest and finest mod orbit builder up to date:

Hello

You seems very good in this mod tool thing. Dont you can make a tool to modify the armor, shield and weapon etc things in same place? Will be good to make battles as everyone like it. Some people enjoy long battles others i think will like if everything go boom faster

Ok, now please tell me what you want to change and I will create a component and ship editor that lets you change what you want.
but it is not that easy because someone has to tell me what stuff exactly has to be changed..

under all the componentDefinitions.xml are the components.. WHAT DO YOU WANT
under ShipHulls_yourrace.xml you see the ships.. WHAT DO YOU WANT

..to change
and please, just do not say: everything. lets start from the stuff that you want the most..

just as a side idea from me:
It would be interesting if we could thenincreasee for one race the hitpoints for one race and for other races the costs.
so lets say we increse the hitpoints by the factor 10 and the others have just 10 times the amount of ships..

another race has 10 timers the firepower..

yes, this would be of course imbalanced and the super firepower would not work when attacked by a wave of 10x fighters than before and so on...
but that would look nice: 100 ships against 10..

also... spying the reace that has awesome weapons putting them inside the ships that are ten times as strong...

Sorry, we struggle with our English, but I said what I think would be a good way to do this...
If a tool could make it easier to edit the XML files, like your tool does with the size, but this time to edit the XML files for Armor, Shield, and damage output data.
I see your tool more as a good XML editor that makes it easy to edit /race. I hope this makes sense?
