I've been playing a new game with your faction included for a couple of days now, and I wanted to chime in on a few points.
First off, phenomenal quality work. This really does seem like the natural progression of your older Neutrino mod, and it shows. Better balancing, better quality artwork, better "feeling" ships as a whole. These have character, and I like it. The weapons are interesting and fit their niches well. It doesn't feel like "bloat". Some mods add too much content and most of it feels the same, I haven't gotten that impression at all with DA. The weapons and ships also seem very well attuned to each other, making for good theme fits.
I haven't had a chance to play with every ship yet, but I will say the Haze has become one of my favorites, right up there with the SCY Sthenos. It feels a little overpowered right now, but I think maybe removing the two medium universal hardpoints on the wingtips would be enough to balance it. Had a great time blasting away around the universe in it until I very reluctantly had to sacrifice it to the Omnifactory. Had a Calm as a support vessel for a while too, excellent fleet ship. Looking forward to getting my hands on one of their capitals, but I never see them for sale.
Campaign-wise, they make a nice, smaller addition. I like the idea of mod-factions adding small presences to the universe, rather than rivaling the vanilla superpowers. Their station always seems a little under stocked, which you may or may not want to work on. As for the difficulty of gaining rep with them, I like it that way. Fits the lore.
Anyway, great stuff. It will definitely become a staple mod for me.
