https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tcdfwh7smxa7p2k/AABBW-aI6HFXFtGKAhMzl3YKaRequires Modified vmparams file to load any game. Open your Stasector directory, edit the vmparams file notepad, inside it replace -Xms512m -Xmx512m with -Xms512m -Xmx1024m.
For Mac users, the file to change is Contents/MacOS/starsector_mac.sh.
Also helps to put jre 64bit in the main Starsector folder, instead of the vanilla 32bit version if you have a 64bit OS

Collection of the best (imho) Mods, in both quality and lore, in a single Mod. All the Factions are perfectly integrated and have relations with each other.
I tried not disrupting the vanilla Starsector feel, enhancing some aspect of it for greater difficulty and achievement feel.
The selection of Mods is based on overall balance, sprite quality and lore quality, compared to vanilla.

Features
The selected factions and mods, placed in a vanilla Sector (vanilla systems + modded systems) .
Choose your Journey, be independent, join a faction, be an overlord with your own followers.
Solid (and expandable) bounty system for all factions.
Abstraction system, allowing an unprecedented number of fleets to fly around the sector with minimal performance loss.
Complex and rewarding Craft System with a lot of new and interesting resources, like Blueprints.
Completely reworked Loot System.
Completely reworked Spawn System with an infinite amount of new variants for every ships, thanks to my variant randomizer, and very new and variegated fleets.
All fleets now have Levels and skill points, like players and generally move around a lot more from system to system.
Stations are now Dynamic through production and trade.
New amazing graphic effects thanks to Dark Revenant!

Everytime your relationship changes (joining or leaving a faction for example) you get a complete report on the current statuses. Implemented a randomized variant maker so that any ship can be equipped in every possible way(inside the faction's weapons and ships lists).

Notes
Most of the mod's features need to be referenced in internal lists so any other added mods sadly won't be able to use em.
When submitting feedback, please remember to post U'sS version and game version (also please provide .log and\or savefile if needed).

General Suggestions for Mod Integration
Use this folder structure: [graphics\modname\ships... & sounds\modname\fx...] instead of [graphics\ships... & sounds\fx...]
Name your hulls\".ship" files like: "modname_shipname.ship", "not shipname.ship"
Name your missions\"mission" folders like: "modname_mission", not "mission"
Set a "shipNameSources" in the world\factions\".faction" file: "shipNameSources":{"GREEK":1},
