See the change log for more details.
Published 27th Jun 2010

Due to a suggestion of using the Ultimate Vehicle Mod in a PBW game, I took a look at it. The result, is with Black Knyghts help, I modernised it and we added a number of new weapons and extended the levels of others to compliment the massive ship sizes up to 65000kT

Before I forget to paste the link, here it is pending inclusion in the downloads section > http://files.spaceem pires.net/user/1528/ UltimateVehicleSizeA BK.7z

This makes use of Component Pack 32 (not 33 as mentioned elsewhere - ops) and has space yards extended from just 3 levels to 10, with an expansion yard added as well.

Fighter Bays have been extended also to 10 levels. AI has been tweaked slightly as well.

Two new weapons have been added to the Religious trait, please read the Readme file for more details. Enjoy, and consider joining the PBW game :-)

- Budget management based on politic ideology type
Allows an empire to reduce maintenance cost of the empire, but at the cost of side effects, by the use of facilities.
