REQUIRES GC2 VERSION 1.2 OR HIGHER!

Features:

+ New "Blank" hulls that consist only of a single disembodied hardpoint; create ships from only jewelry and components with no hull at all.

+ All hulls in the game are available as jewelry, including Dread Lord hulls (combined with blank hulls you can use any hull with any size or race, or multiple hulls at once).

+ "Fake" versions of Colony, Constructor, Transport, and Trade modules for making symmetrical ships. Includes the previously unused mirror version of the Constructor and Trade modules for correct Left/Right symmetry.

+ Hardpoint formations (disembodied hardpoint groupings). Includes single extension, dual mirrored, triple, quad, etc, up to a ring of 8. Also included are a cluster of 10 hardpoints for placing multiple items in one place, and a delta formation for making ships that look like groups of mini-fighters.

The mod has been restructured for 1.2, and now uses the mods folder. The various features of the mod are broken into multiple XML files as well so you can selectively disable the parts you don't want. More details in the readme.

READ THE INCLUDED README BEFORE USING!! You must start a new game to see the mod's effects; it will not work on a save made before installing it.

Implement All Racial Penalties (Negative Bonuses)

By General Pants


This mod implements negative racial bonuses for all racial abilities, including miniaturization, logistics, home planet quality, interest rates, and all of the exotic worlds colonization abilities. Every ability has been given one or more penalty options, which award bonus points for a reduction in the ability score.

Using this mod, you can make your Ultimate Jellyfish Race, who can't colonize Barren worlds, but can automatically colonize water worlds, and who need extra space in their ships for their watery "atmosphere." Enjoy!

This is a mod of the "Implement all Racial Abilities" mod by me, which was itself a mod of "MrKorx's Miniaturization & Logistics Mod" by MrKorx (with the latter author's permission).

V1.1: Based on player feedback, I have lowered the value of the Colonize Exotic Worlds abilities considerably. I originally set them high because I felt that they would be especially problematic for the AI. Of course, I don't recommend giving the AI these penalties anyway, so that doesn't really make much sense, does it?
V1.2: Fixed minor typo that might or might not have affected play. Thanks to Mongo64 for pointing it out.
V1.21: (unreleased) Updated readme file.
V1.3: corrected minor typo pointed out by nooha.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract these to yourfavoritmod/Data... for some reason, the AbilitiesBonus.xml will not work if you put it in Data/English, so please don't do that.

New Destroyed Improvement Graphic

By General Pants


You have fought a pitched space battle against high-resolution enemy starships, watched your 3D troops and armored vehicles pound the enemy to pieces, then the planetary display screen shows destroyed improvements marked out with an "X"?!?!?!?! To promote a collective move away from interstellar tic-tac-toe, here is a little mushroom cloud icon to substitute for the Big Red X.

NOTE: The thumbnails are out-of-date; the area around smoke ring at the base of the cloud is no longer illuminated.

This is... MY high Res planets mod that I think looks better!

Note: Please download the Readme file so you can see the full download location.

Hahaha! The mod replaces The Textures of:

1. Saturn Texture and Ring
2. Earth
3. Jupiter
4. Mars
5. Mercury

And that's it. With the Hi-Res pack... you get 10 new types of Clouds, which makes any Low-Res texture in the game to Hi-Res! (trust me!)

The mod also comes with New light maps!

Enjoy!

Includes 14 logos, some of which may look a little distorted, but I did my best to clear them up.

I may even update them with i higher rezolution in the future.

The download contain two folders and a (read me first) file
The use for the mod files requires GaCiv 1.1

These files are copies of hull and components renamed as jewelry files. The copies (hull, components) will then be added to the extras in the shipbuild.

The second file contain more 4 early ship that did not make the last ship pack
Ship file are 1.0 or higher
Ship race is Altarina.

Warning: If you are all ready using Mods/Models system you may have to do some rearranging of files. My ships will not load properly without the omegaMods files. I have tested my mods on the new update (1.11) and should be fine but I do not know if it will work with Kryo’s hull system. I have not have the time to test it.

Political Party pack v1.0a contents;

- Nationalists; Nationalists hold their nation, ethnicity or national identity as a "fundamental unit" of human social life. This strong and unwavering social structure allows for a much hightened morale (+30% bonus).
- Human Ecologists; The Ecologists study the relationships between human groups and their physical and social environments, alowing them to adapt to many external factors others would not be able to to. This also gives them great insight in the many different cultural societies. Ecologists receive a 20% boost in morale and influence.
- Communists; The Communists believe in a a classless and stateless utopian society where the resources and means of production are owned by communities rather than by individuals and where there is equal sharing of all freedoms, all work and all benefits. This gives a social production bonus of 30% and a 5% bonus to morale.
