You forget the lack of mandatory missions on the server...

Don't snitch.

I know you can change the "empire names" in the gf files from the stock to custom ones. I think it'd be a swell idea KBF-Bartok

Me2 and should be done so we know who's house is who's.

Well MB if the lot of you had come up with some easy-to-spell names
we wouldn't be having this issue..

House names should be in place for the races when it goes live.

2 Links, seperated to prevent duplicate downloads if only one part changes.

The Missions are THE EXACT SAME MISSIONS as SGO5.   If you still have these missions installed you do not need to download the misisons.

The Spec downloader will simply installed the shiplist and fighter list (which is OP+4 "Stock").   Back up your original files as this is NOT a scripted uninstall, it will not replace the OP+ stock list when unintalled.

And make sure OP+ 4 is installed first

I've logged on and flown 2 missions.  I lost the second one, but the dv shift still went in my favor 

DV goes down in neutral hexes whether you win or lose.

I know you can change the "empire names" in the gf files from the stock to custom ones.  I'm not sure how this affects artifex (would it list the house name when you right clicked on a hex?) but was there any plan to rename the empires/houses/sides to customize?

If this does carry through the the map, I think it'd be a swell idea (sorry i don't know the answer offhand).

It changes the empire names in the news and whatnot, but to change the empire names on the map a custom definitions file must be used when creating the map. (thoug I do not recall actually tesing this) I have never been able to change the chat channel names... must look at that in the code sometime.
