I've taken a few of the races you made and turned them into "spoilers" to make game play interesting. I pulled these races from your mod and added them to my own personal mod with 49 races...

The Zha'til are a capable but enigmatic machine race that inhabits ice worlds. They are ruthless and able to carry on war without penalty, but they have little reason to engage in war and won't usually be the aggressor in a conflict.

The Vandomar are an amphibious powerhouse, focusing on income and wealth. They tend to be friendly with other races. The close resemblance to the Asari suggests some shared heritage, but unfortunately many Vandomar do not see this in a positive light and so they are not fond of the Asari. The Asari have no such negative feelings towards the Vandomar.

The Ditakur give the Ursidians a purpose, as they are capable and also a bit xenophobic. Ursidians now have very strong affinity for each other and a slightly smaller affinity for the rodent races, for whom they should act as protectors.

The Rachni are an insect spoiler in that they dislike the more conniving insect races and are neutral towards or only slightly like the others. I've made them more intelligent than you had them, and the less xenophobic and more intelligent races will see that the rachni are more misunderstood than bad.

Lastly, the Endorumi are highly militaristic and xenophobic amphibian race. They like and are well liked by other amphibious races, and they respect power among other races. They detest humans and have low regard for other humanoids due to what they perceive as a meddling attitude.. Amphibians shouldn't have to stand next to humanoids as the chief galactic powers.

As you can probably imagine, I don't know much about what these races are supposed to be like in the ME universe!

Hello everyone, I've decided to return back to update my mod to the Universe version of DW. However, I think that since ancient Mass Effect era is not that popular, I'll do just Mass Effect present era mod. Moreover there is one already done by Kalthaniell with whom I've shared resources and cooperated across his and mine mods. Kind thanks to Demonius and others who made MASS EFFECT mod compatible with DW Universe.

So would it be a good idea for me to merge Prothean Cycle and MASS EFFECT mods? Thoughts and suggestions are more than welcome.

Welcome back! A merge of the two would be great, but I'd also just be happy with an up to date, detailed Mass Effect mod. I've done a little work of my own on the ME mod (for my own use) over the past few months so I'd be happy to chip in.

I'll definitely download this mod once you've gotten it done and up to date, Tyrador, your work looks really high quality. I've been thinking recently that I might, of course using the work that has come before me, with permission, build up a mod specifically set in the post-Reaper War galaxy. I.e. something equivalent to the vanilla DW's Shadows Era.

More resources present more challenges to the game, which are in my opinion always a good thing! If they have a purpose and are not for the sake of adding more resources, it's a cool addition.

I honestly don't care too much about realism as long as the technobabble fits the setting, but others might disagree.

Since the mod isn't released yet I'll have to compensate by asking a bunch of questions.

Any change to the ship sets? The canon ones obviously were fine but some of those that lacked a proper ME source didn't seem all that fitting (Krogan for instance).
Are you still sticking to this being a pirate only mod? If yes, will there be any special events for Collectors, Cerberus, Batarian slavers, whoever or will we all just merrily plunder the galaxy?
Custom galaxy, yes, no, maybe?
Will the canon characters play a role or do you consider them redundant after the end of the Reaper invasion?

If any of my questions has already been answered I apologize for not paying enough attention.
Either way, can't wait for the mod.

However, my university studying time is approaching very quickly and so I have no more time to finish my mod. Therefore If someone's interested please take over, you don't need my permission, just finish it.
