 Link Check it out, its the metaverse-pulse issue number 4.
Thats to read it of course, of course to log in you have to use the temp link fox provided on page 58 i think.
 Oh btw my hard drive 120 gigs and my power supply blew up so I havnt submitted a game yet and havnt been able to play due to my evil hard drive being too small [3.92 gigs] Galciv if installed with the modds would take up like .8 gigs. Meaning I wouldnt have room for all my messengers ftp programs browser, O/S etc. But to no avail another 120 gig hard drive with a DVD/CD-R burner is coming in the mail [the dvd-r/cd-r is so me and my dad can back up our data onto DVDs and CDrs due to my hard drives failure it scared my dad into getting one]   Not all things are for bad fortune. So I lost 90 gigs of data but what the heck.... I can start all new. Lucky for me my Galciv Savegames were SAFE on my 3.92 gig hard drive. [bro burnt it from his pc to a couple cds so he could install windows xp]
Yeah so, the pirates are on my tail 
And CONGRATS!  JTQwerk for reaching Diplomat!

Hello everyone
Long time no seen...
As I got back to the game, i discovered that there has been a star trek mod for over 2 months now 
But after 6-8 months without playing (too much work, too many things to do, and too little time  ) I'm having a hard time facing the dominion... (and everyone has 4-8 planets, except me, with 2! that's some federation ).
Anyway, I have two questions about the mod, maybe some of you can help me out?
First there are some new ships, including some mines. Do they work simply as ships or there is something else to it? I ask because one of my "lucky" ships attacked a dominion planet, and the only things in orbit were a mine and a nuclear missile. I destroyed the missile, no problem. BUT when my ship attacked the mine in orbit, it was destroyed! Is it a normal effect? that the attacking ship is destroyed along with the mine? (that would be nice... specially when it is not my ship that is vaporised) Or did something else happen there that I don't realise?
And is there a way to play a "normal" game even though the mod was installed? And last, is it metaverse compatible?
Thanks for your help guys. It is good to be back, this is an unusable game!

Yes you can play normal, and yes it is Metaverse compatible.

Guys - can you give me the short summary on this mod? I've never used a mod in my life, so:
1. Does it change the installation permanently (ie can I go back to vanilla GalCiv?)
2. Are games submittable to the Metaverse in the normal way for scores?

1.- I think that the mod is installed in you mod folder so you should be able to go back to your normal installation. in any case I think you can make a backup copy of your program.
2. yes they count as normal in your score...

Man in Black
It is a very nice mod. it gives another feel of the game, even though many things are still the same. But you do have other ships (not just in name, they actually made new ships, starfleet looking), some techs, a few pics are changed, starbases are more starfleet like, the music, some new events. All in all a very nice mod. And as Yordrony said, you should be able to play normal galciv, but it is best to make a back up of all your files (just in case...).
Otherwise, the only bug I noticed is that you can't change the "klingons" alignement (they can only be neutral or evil, not good) - if you try, the game will crash. But that's all. Downloading the music files takes a while but it is worth it.
I've not finished a game yet, but it is, apparently, metaverse compatible.
