I am seeking a particular mod...

from Sins Forums

I hope this is the correct place to ask, I figured the Modding section was for actual mods.

I've recently gotten back into SoaSE (not that I ever left it, but have been preoccupied) and am
looking for a mod I've been wanting to try out for years, but cannot remember the name of it
for the life of me. It gave independent factions stations and extractors (perhaps defenses as
well, I cannot recall), so rather than simply destroying ships, they were actual established
colonies. Is anyone able to point me in the correct direction? I've been searching and searching
and I am unable to locate it, and would prefer the slight increase in difficulty with them having
established themselves more defensively than a group of ships.

Your post was cut off (these forums are bad). The cut off part says:

The mod you are looking for is most likely so far out of date it would be better to rebuild anyways. Welcome back.

Wrath89: I'll be sure to watch out for formatting bugs in future, thanks for pointing that out.

Ryat: Yeah, I was hoping that although the mod would be quite old that it was one that was updated through Entrenchment and Diplomacy.  Oh well.  Thanks for the welcome, too. 

Stant123: Thanks for the link, I will see what other mods I can try out from there, :).

ofafallensun, from the description of what you want ie each of the independent colonies having structures and extractors as well as ships, this can be done with templates in the map, and also by  altering the militia templates in the galaxysenariodef (adding the structures that you want), but this method probably will change the checksum of the mod.

hope this helps

Awesome, I had come here in the hopes of learning modding for SoaSE, so that sounds like something good to start with.  I've already bookmarked The SoaSE Project modding website in the hopes of trying some stuff out, likely custom factions to begin with and re-textured Advent ships.  Hopefully something within that website will point me in the correct direction.  Thanks for letting me know what I can modify to achieve what I've been looking for.
