Post your I-War 2: Edge of Chaos resources here!
As with the I-War (1) thread, it would be good to collect together a list of useful resources for players. Documentation, modding resources, artwork and other media, and anything else that you think other players might find useful.

Here's couple I could find straight away that at least exist:
Independence War II - Edge of Chaos Community
Buda 5 v2.0 or use the front page to access either Buda 5 site.
One more:
Torn Stars: Unstable Space

- Wetwired's Independent Trading Post:

Also here is a preview for those who have not played I-War 2 yet:

I wrote many of the Particle Systems mods, including the Custom Jafs one. In fact I wrote the Jafs in-game behaviour.
Multimod is the most essential mod, as it enables more than one scripted mod to be running at the same time.

I think I love you <3
It's my favourite game of all time! The only problem I have with it is that it's not long enough :(

Does anyone have some experience playing the Torn Stars mod? Is it good?
I like I-War 2, but it has some minor flaws such as the absence of a quick-save function..

This and the other resources thread should be stickied.

I've been sifting through the small number of game mods, and through the even-fricking-less modding info, and dug up this little gem, which should be of interest to anyone who wants to mod the game.

Sim and Subsim Creation - by Particle Systems
http://www.mediafire.com/?u65bgoobot41taj

to the best of my knowledge, it's the only real source of info for modding the game. I'm going to try to use it to create a multiplayer map with some significantly bigger fish in it: a few capital ships, and some fighters. My goal is to create a small carrier battle.

Another modding source available here:

About 80% of the way through, there's a link to what appears to be an official SDK.

Just wondering, since there's very little documentation about it, what are the options you can choose for the jafs_ship line? The txt file only mentions freighter (jafs_ship = ini:/sims/ships/utility/freighter), but it never mentions the full list of options possible.

Check here to see if something works name-wise through trial-and-error: https://www.i-war2.com/documents/ships/freighters

I'm not finding a list anywhere, either. Then again, my duckduck-fu may not be the best.

Edit: if you're trying to use the Colossus mod for Jafs, enter jafs_ship = ini:/sims/ships/player/colossus
