Lower Speed And Range Mod

[lurchi]

There were only minor changes, this mod should work just fine.

lurchi, Tanaka is slightly keen for me to apply this to the AI Improvement Mod, so I'm having a closer look!

I really like the changes to early game drives as the jump from speed 2,000 to 12,500 is far too extreme. Cool.

What I'd suggest reconsidering is the late game, where I consider default speeds to be far too slow. It's often a mop-up operation, faster speeds would help speed-up the late game. So I would prefer more than default speed, not less ... at least once you get to Tech Level 5 and above.

Also, once Gerax is available, I'm finding in the AI Improvement Mod that there is little incentive to focus early on Hyperdrive research, as other areas provide more significant benefits. This may change if there was more of a range in Hyperdrive speeds. It always struck me how limited the change was from Tier 1 to Tier 7 ...

I completely agree with you ice! I have the same experience.

Oh, don't worry. There will be more and higher speed drives in Research Reloaded. Also a new one with extremely high speed. The drive tree will be completely redone like the rest of the research.

This here is just a simple mod. When I'm done with Research Reloaded I might include the new drives here as well.

Does this work with AI Improvement mod? I'm thinking about using vanilla tech because it looks like there will be at least another 6 months before someone "might" finish a technology mod.

Yeah but he finished this Mod a long time ago. It was meant to be updated with his Research mod, but it's functional as a stand alone. The only issue is that the late game is alot slower. But for someone like me that wants to keep the galaxy feeling tremendous from start to finish it's perfect. Which is why i'm hoping it will work with AI Improvement Mod... I'll make a post on Ice's mod thread. EDIT: NVM This is also obsolete. IceMania incorporated this concept into his mod. My bad.
