FQM is a quadrant/system mod for Space Empires V. Some features include:
- More realistic solar systems, with rock planets in the inner belts, and ice at the far reaches.
- Most of the funky quadrants from FQM for SE4, such as Spaghetti, Old, Newborn, Paradise, Super-Grid and Maze.
- Entirely new shapes of quadrant, such as Shell Spiral and Ringed.
- Beautiful multicolored nebulae that look more like nebulae. Clouds are larger, more numerous, and come in life-like patterns.
- Protostars, with storm color coordinated to star color.
- Planets have an atmosphere glow effect, for easier identification. Gas Giants are more realistic now, with the smallest gas giants on the same scale as the largest rock planets.
- More realistic spectrum of star colors, with actual size differences (not to absolute scales, naturally).
- More ability variation on stellar objects, including asteroids and storms.
- Beautiful Warp Point graphics.
- More varied star types, like neutron stars, brown dwarves, white dwarves, and red giants.
- 4 and 5 star systems.
- Real star names instead of the wacky stock ones.
- And more!
