Hello everyone, first post and first mod for me, woo!

My name is Fallan554 and after having loads of fun with vanilla distant worlds i decided to make a Mass Effect mod for it!

ive only put in a few races which are: Drell, Asari, Humans, Turians, Geth, Volus, Hanar, Batarians, Quarians and Krogans, and the mod is in its very early stages and is nowhere near finished

Also this mod was made for the 4chan Mass effect General steam group and threads, so if you guys have any questions feel free to ask me there, my names that i use on both are in the game about text.

New Version with some goodies!

Changes:
Race balancing: Some balancing done to the races, still got some way to do

music: more music added, dance the night away with afterlife as you conquer the stars!

What needs to be done:

1. More races! i plan on editing more races into the game, and stat them accordingly
2. Custom ships and stations! using the default ships for this mod gets kinda boring, but there are almost no ships seen in the ME games!
3. More music! going through the OSTs and trying to decide what to put in
4. More stuff in general

Also this mod uses 1.0.6.0 patch, install that just in case!

Great start!� Good to see a new mod, I never played the second Mass Effect, but I can remember most of these from the first one.

Hey man that's awesome, fortunately somewhere on here I was told there's a DL for the Mass effect sound tracks.
Also I have already modded Normandy SR1 and SR2 DW compatible, you can add it into your mod all I really did was crop it out. It's the actual game meshes so they're mint ;)

Good work dude! Might give this mod a try when I next start a new game. Did you make the Geth more intelligent in the latest update? I think aggressive races are slightly handicapped if they are not intelligent.

lol, sorry I meant in DW, because it affects their ship design

As for the Zerg, well its hard to say how intelligent they are, the individual creature themselves not so, but the Overmind or Kerrigan, extremely intelligent perhaps. Regardless, I agree

Zerg are one of the greatest strategy game races I've come across!

Yeah, geth are pretty much as smart as can be since they are all one giant mass of minds and such, hopefully the next patch will make me able to give them hivemind which suits them better

I don't know, but the human in Mass Effect should be more milistaristic and aggresive.
