After avoiding this mod because of VRAM and balance concerns, with Mikohime 24's help I finally decided to give it a try.
Well, it is obvious why this mod made quite an impact.
But I'm also a bit underwhelmed in a different way, because unless I'm missing something, outside of the custom market on that resort planet it seems most of the narrative content is locked behind the Commission.
After being spoiled with the vanilla game's higher ups giving jobs because I was an unaffiliated (and deniable) asset, it felt a bit constricting when even with quite a bit of rep trying to contact any of the ladies at the top had me redirected to get Commissioned at Vermilion.
Compared to that the Iron Shell ladies can give un-commissioned jobs, with unique rewards at certain personal rep thresholds.
(I also have personal hang-ups with the whole Commissioning thing even in vanilla, though.)
Speaking of Iron Shell, one complaint that I have that is shared between UAF and Iron Shell, is that the custom conversation system is IMO too easy to break by accident, which is quite bothersome when those aforementioned unique rewards are locked behind the converse option and thus get locked out. Made me save everytime before I landed on their planets.
On that front, I would suggest at very least to move those rewards from the converse sections to the Job Offers section, where they can be given as a reward from a "dummy/reward mission" or from an actual unique mission.
