Unless someone beats me to it, I'll have a go at a Windows binary.
Later that night...
This was the most fun I've had with SC2 in years!
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~ejrh/temp/uqm-ep.exe
Just put it in the same place as your normal uqm.exe and run it from there.
Since it was compiled with VS.Net 2003, it may complain about not finding msvcr71.dll. I doni't know what the solution to this is, unfortunately. (Perhaps a mingw compile instead?)

A more detailed description of the rules:
There are sixteen planets in the arena, and twelve asteroids (there are five in normal melee.) The planets do about half as much damage as normal planets, although still with a minimum of one damage.
All other changes are to the individual ships, listed below:
Androsynth
Primary: Long range (long for a laser, that is) dual laser
Secondary: Blazer form *and* bubbles
Arilou
Primary: Auto-aim laser (no change)
Secondary: Flee the arena. Choose a new ship.
Chenjesu
Primary: Crystal shot (now slightly homing)
Secondary: DOGIs with point-defense
Chmmr
Primary: Laser (no change)
Secondary: Tractor beam (no change)
Nine zap-sats, in a half circle around the Chmmr.
Druuge
Primary: Recoil cannon (now with 10x impact on hit)
Secondary: Sacrifice crew (no change)
Earthling
Primary: More homing nuclear missiles
Secondary: Awesome point defense, no energy cost
Ilwrath
Primary: 5x flamethrower
Secondary: Cloaking (no change)
Ship is now really fast.
Kohr-Ah
Primary: disks (no change)
Secondary: Long-duration plasma spray
Melnorme
Primary: Starspray, medium-range homing shots
Secondary: Confusion ray (now fires much more frequently)
Ship is now a bunch faster and moves kind of jerky.
Mmrnmhrm
Primary: Septuple laser / homing missiles (missiles are slightly improved)
Secondary: Transform (no energy cost, can be done more frequently)
Mycon
Primary: Hold it like a chenjesu or kohr-ah shot, then release it and it behaves like an old Mycon shot
Secondary: Hold the secondary key and turn to turn fast at a steep energy cost
Ship is completely immobile
Ship automatically regenerates quite fast, but this reduces energy regen when you're damaged
Ship starts with 1/3 max energy
Orz
Primary: Howitzer (now fires a bit more often)
Secondary: 7 HP marines that don't get killed by planets. (they have enough HP to get into a flaming Androsynth)
Pkunk
Primary: Triple shot (no change)
Secondary: Insult (no change)
Ship is now REALLY fast, has 36 crew, and only takes 1 damage ever from planets.
And, of course, it ressurects 50% of the time.
Shofixti
Primary: Ten Damage Mendokusai Energy Dart
Secondary: Self-destruct (no change)
Slylandro
Primary: "lightning" (no change)
Secondary: Eat asteroid (no change)
Ship now spins three times as fast.
Spathi
Primary: Shotgun, costs all energy, 24 damage potential
Secondary: BUTTs, much more frequently
Supox
Primary: Triple invincible shot
Secondary: Move strangely (no change)
Syreen
Primary: Shoot (no change)
Secondary: Really powerful unlimited range syreen song
Thraddash
Primary: Long range 6 damage cannon
Secondary: Short range high-damage flamethrower
Ship is now slow, and has 42 crew and 42 energy. It's a heavy.
Umgah
Primary: Anti-matter cone (now instant death to anything but planets and Supox shot)
Secondary: Move backwards (no change)
Ur-Quan
Primary: Fusion blast (no change)
Secondary: Four autonomous fighters for the price of one, and when they come back you end up with more crew than you started with
Utwig
Primary: 6 shooter (now fires much more frequently)
Secondary: Shield (now doesn't restore energy)
Ship starts with large energy banks
VUX
Primary: Laser (no change)
Secondary: Excessive amount of really fast long-range limpets
Yehat
Primary: Twin auto-cannons (no change)
Secondary: Inverse tractor beam, tractors the Yehat towards its opponent
Shield automatically turns on and off constantly at no energy cost.
Shield now protects against planets.
Zoq-fot
Primary: Ridiculous, long range, high spread, wimpy shot
Secondary: Frequent tonguing, no energy cost

My team of four Androsynth and three Chmmr is the most unfair team ever! My mod |

He does make them overpowered, yes. But not unbalanced, if he balances the costs well. Of course, now the rock-paper-scissors rule is different.

Wow, this mod is awesome! A new experience altogether  . The planet thing is a nice challenge.
Thank you edmund for compiling it for Windows. And thanks Elvish Pillager for the mod. Lots of fun.

I have assumed Elvish Pilliger has put the new source in the same place as the old, and recompiled it:
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~ejrh/temp/uqm-ep-1.0.2.zip (991 kB)
Regarding crashes: those were most likely due to incompatible library files that came with the official uqm package. I have now bundled the correct library versions.
Install instructions:
- Make a complete copy of your existing UQM install (we need this for the content).
- Unzip the contents of uqm-ep-1.0.2.zip into it, overwriting the EXE and DLL files.
- Play by running uqm-ep.exe.
