Well, they're supposed to be updated in post #1, otherwise it's impossible to keep track the way you guys are making progress.
Also, is this a secret project? Because no updates seem to reach the "New/Updated Files" list (new version just posted by woodelf) nor the DL Database - which would greatly increase feedback.
To prevent any "stupid" response: glad you at least figured out Winzip.
PS: Just noticed you can just unzip into the Assets folder. So what's with all the extra directories?

No access to post one except for Psi Corps, who is MIA.
Why UL something that is not playable yet?
In less time than I used to try and figure out 7zip, I had Dled, installed and had the mod zip re-created. That is what 7zip is not, intuitive.
Cheers, Thorgrimm It was to remind him.
'Cause of the feedback, silly: played 50+ turns with no CTD - in my book that's playable (couldn't get past 50 turns before). First feedback:
- Intro Hint text reads: "TXT_KEY_...etc" instead of actual quote
- messages "You've found a ... ship" always turn out to be a PDF unit
- Astral Gate should either be linked to a way back advance or turned off until further notice.
In short: had great fun playing this not playable version so far!
Will post more feedback after I start anew, as I forgot to turn off Human Ascendancy, so everyone was building Astral Gate pieces like crazy!

@Thorgrimm, hugh3sy, and everyone
I've downloaded the latest version, but I have to warn everyone, this isn't a stand-alone release, you still need to download v0.1.7d, install it, and then patch with Thorgrimm's files.
@Thorgrimm, how about making a standalone download, that way I can point this forum download to your file.

(yup, I'm with the beers again...in Monday??
)I just love Warlock-school ships

Not quite sure what you mean by stand alone? This was only a patch to apply over what has already been done. I am assuming that most folks will not want a 50+ mb dl to just dl FF with the B5 mod changes. If I am wrong, then please correct me.
@ Premier Valle, also, how do you remove a ship without disturbing the UU's based on it? I am speaking of the FF base ships since they re-appear when the last tech is researched.

Precisely, what I mean as a stand-alone release, I don't mean the full B5 mod. I just mean to include all necesary files to mod a copy of FF.
In the mean time, I'll just make a link to the patch in the download center.

I wasn't aware that hapened in FF, by the that time (assuming the match hasn't ended) I'm too busy building AstralGates or killing someone
(not that I'm a god-like player... not even a good one 
)Wich UUs are based on them?, did you base the new fleets on them? (in that case removal isn't necessary).
There are a lot of references to the FF ships through many files, i.e. the goody huts (err... debris) definitions, the pirate stuff.... also there are references in the python files, but they cause no trouble (anyway, thats my work
)EDIT:
BTW, the jump point's graphics are (in the mean time) "forts".
EDIT 2: @Thorgrimm
In the download center I pointed a link directly to the file, I suposse there is no need to attract unnecesary attention to the developer's forum.

Every new ship I added is based on one from the FF base units and I can still build, for example, the EA ships, and once I finish the tech tree all of the base FF ships. All ships in the list are UU's.
NP on the link.

I'm not MIA, i'm WIA, every time i start to place a post my browser dumps me out and i have to reload. This has stopped me from placing new updates onto the #1 post.
I'm looking at building a new PC that shouldn't have any problems doing any of what i want to do. I did manage to edit a couple of posts on the developement fora namely the Buildings and Traits threads.

Lol, ok. Lets hope you can get something going soon.
Also, Giam Intelligence fleet list is added. Up next is the Drazi Freehold fleet list.

I went ahead and coupled all the fighters and bombers in the mod to the Squadron factory, and all ships needing the tech Jump Engines into the Capital Shipyard.

Ah... I was wondering already why I should build that when all Fighters and stuff were available already.
I wanted to get a good chunk of the units in before I really concentrated on the buildings. I have also enabled most of the diplomatic stuff to make the diplo techs now mean something.

It'll be good to have other choices than Peace/War.
Lol, yup, my thoughts exactly.

Before you build a new PC you should consider formatting your HD and reinstalling your OS, way cheaper, and faster, it will allow you to post while you build your new comp.
OK, Thorgrimm I have looked into the xml files, and now I understand wh.y all FF ships appear at the end of the tech tree (it is not only because they all have the TECH_B5_PLANET_KILLER tech as a prerequisite
)I'll try to explain:

Well, that seemed obvious (to me anyway); I thought they'd been placed there until further notice.
