23a Playing As Horta (Load 23)

The Horta Race (Load 23a) - Playing As The Horta

This Mod Replaces The Silicoid Race With A Custom Race. The Horta are a intelligent silicate based life form which evolved in high heat molten magma environments. They are among the oldest of the galaxy's races. While despising all other life forms, they are known for their eugenic weapons and destructive Lava Basher weapons; the latter are best described as very dense asteroid magma projectiles.

This also gives you some new ship speed options on the Custom Race Picks Screen. Some of the races have had their base ship speeds adjusted to make things more interesting. The structures of the Klackons were improved. This mod will only work when using UCP with 5X Balance Mods activated while including Galaxy Boost. Place the mod at the end of your mods list. Notice the Load Order (23_0) for use with my other mods.

There are two versions of this mod: "Playing As Horta" and "Playing Against Horta" (Horta As Enemy). The Ship Blue Prints are different depending on your choice.

NOTE: The Diverse Specials And Massive Planets (DSMP) mod will conflict with Galaxy Boost.
