v2.0b
- Fixed a bug which crashed to desktop. This hotfix may or may not fix already doomed saves (I'm so sorry)

The Concordance of Protection Syndicate (COPS) is a joint effort by some defector scientists from within Tritachyon and a group of formerly retired Hegemony officers to create an effective pirate-hunting doctrine. They have deep ties with the Hegemony, but aren't technically under their jurisdiction. They were initially funded by both the Hegemony and a small sect from the Luddic Church, but have quickly gained the favor of most non-pirate organizations within the sector. A notable exception to this is the Syndrian Diktat, who as usual hate the idea of some unified policing state.
Their tech, while advanced, lacks regulations and a proper nanoforge. On top of this, production is rushed to combat pirate raids and encampments. As such, many of their ships come off the line with several defects and damage.
-FEATURES-
The COPS were designed to be sort of like "reverse pirates" to someone doing a pirate-playthrough with Nexerelin, or just larping. I hope you guys have fun with the new botes.
Current feature list:
- Several new ships and ship systems to add to your pirate-hunting arsenal.
- New toys for the pirates to fight back with.
- Compatibility and expanded features with both Nexerelin and Vayra's Sector.
- Commissioned Crews integration.
Planned feature list:
- New story mission content.
- COPS fleets respond to pirate raids in and around the core worlds.
Larger arsenal of COPS ships, and a brand new line of weapons and fighters.- REDACTED

As a final note to everybody, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me feedback about the balance of the ships. I would like to keep this mod mostly in-line with the balance of vanilla Starsector.
Thanks so much!
