“Masters Mod (mod for SE4)”

I use FeedDemon 2 to do the majority of my web-searching for Space Elevator-related items.  Most of the items it flags for me are current, or relatively so.  But once in a while it finds something that is several months old (or even older).

Such was the case today when it found a blog posting from October, 2005, talking about a modification to the PC-based game; Space Empires IV.  This modification adds, among others, the following “racial trait” to the game;

“Megascale Masters – Your race has mastered the art of managing huge megascale construction projects. Your economy will get an early boost from the construction of space elevators, and larger ship hulls will help you as the game progresses.”

I had earlier reported how the Space Elevator (the ruins of one) will be in the newest version of Halo.  This mod to Space Empires IV seems to be yet another indication that the idea of Space Elevators is becoming more well known.  And, if we can introduce this idea to a bunch of gamers, then LiftPort will have a steady supply of all the new techno-geeks that they will need 🙂
