For lots of scripting, all the sound effects, and a lot of guidance without which this mod would have taken a whole extra year (or more) to produce.
Nicke535
For an absolute mountain of custom script work, seriously, without him this mod would have turned out far more mundane than it did!
Apocalyptic Universe
For a full faction set of custom music, it really ties the whole thing together.

Inventor Racoon, Blothorn, MShadowy, Dark Revenant, and Histidine, for scripts (again).
Tartiflette, for his generous CC attributions that make using his examples easy for everyone.
And the entire unofficial starsector discord community, because really I received more bits-and-pieces of help from you guys over the past year than I can possibly recall.
It is a long hard road out there, life as it is known. As it is also a path from nothing to a feature-complete high-quality faction mod, kudos my man. To players out there, this mod kicks ass and has some pretty neat stuff (weapons especially in my opinion) and I hope you all enjoy it as much as the content creators that made it do!
I’m sure it’ll be a blast.Urge to play intensifies.
