Ok, I just got the viper mod and took a look at it (why are you looking at me like that?) and what are the purpose of the fighter hulls? they seem worthless.

The viper mod is a modfile using StarsEd to modify the Stars executable.

If you download version 1.2 of StarsEd it will work with both versions 2.6/2.7i and version 2.6/2.7 jrc3. Those are the only versions I have made it work with (though I haven't tried with versions earlier than 'i'). It does not work with 2.6/7 jrc1, 2 or 4.
If you download the viper mod for StarsEd you can import it to apply to a Stars!.exe. Make sure you keep a copy of the original .exe file that you apply the mod to since changes can not be reversed. Do not apply the mod to the .exe file you use to play Stars! with (to be on the safe side). Use a different folder for playing around with modfiles.

Viper sucks. Since it never got beyond alpha, forget about it. You aren't likely to find anyone else using it and besides if I ever finish it your copy will be obsolete anyway.

I was under the impression that the VML lounge is strictly about discussing Verkers mod and for hosts announcing VML games there. It's not really a section for all mods ...
Of course I could be wrong, and if so than Ron will correct my mistake and put this thread in the right place, I can't do that myself since I'm not a moderator for the VML lounge ...

Given the relative lack of activity in the VML Lounge maybe widening the scope of that forum to discuss StarEd-based mods in general? Or at least mods that intend large-scale changes and re-balancing of the Stars hulls and components.
Said decision being Ron's. But if he okays it I'll see about moving the thread there.

Back sort of to the original topic - the main reason IMHO that VML, or any other mods, never caught on quite is because the changes we really want to make can't be done without changing the game engine itself.

I wonder if Verker would want to help with FreeStars! - unless he already is helping, which is possible...

The last mod file version that was made to my knowledge is version 1.3b. I do have the origianl zip and can put it up on a page for download for a short while or I can send the zip by mail.
