Eli Dupree, Elvish Pillager on the UQM forums, created an extensive mod of The Ur-Quan Masters that changes all Super Melee ships and even some of its rules. The most recent version of the mod can be found here.
Gameplay
Rule changes
- 14 planets at once instead of just one (half of the arena is covered with them, the other half is empty). They are destructible, having 42 hit points.
- 10 asteroids that sometimes home randomly in one of the players, annoying him (they don't home in the AI player).
- 30 ships per team instead of just 14.
- Destroyed ships keep inertia while exploding.
Ship changes
- Androsynth Guardian

- Primary + Left: Fireball (explodes at impact or range limit, transforming into an explosion of lines that deal damage at impact)
- Primary + Right: Magic missile (projectile that aims in the general direction of the enemy and deals 2 damage)
- Secondary + Up: Safe teleport (may end up in the path of a projectile, though)
- Secondary + Left: Summon Demon (a wall of fire is launched from the Wizard; it replicates up to a certain point. Contact does not deal damage, but stops ships and destroys homing weapons)
