Pirates and Nomads
From SEWiki
A mod for SE4 by Suicide Junkie.
Pirates & Nomads is famous for introducing that which was originally thought impossible; Pirate and Nomadic races which do not require planets to survive.
P&N has also pioneered many other new modding techniques, which are critical to gameplay, including QNP, for realistically larger/more engines on bigger ships, tradeoffs between phased and normal shields and armor plating so that all are useful, generally balanced weapons such that each has a niche, and units like fighters and troops use mounts to fit ship weapons for an expanded variety of options. In the Play-By-Web version, extra nifty features have been added, while the Standard version remains simple enough for AIs to play too.
P&N Classic is available for use in SEIV Classic 1.49 (pre-Gold).
