Before I fall any deeper into the feature creep rabbit hole
V1.4 Update
This update adds 3 new fighter wings, including *gasp* a non-mech LPC! There are some buffs and nerfs as well, and one major thing I want to note is that the "suicidal altagrave" issue seems to be a bug that affects module ships, which makes them much more aggressive than they should normally be. Alex couldn't replicate my results, so this seemingly is fixed in 0.9.5a. In the meantime, if you want to prevent this behavior from occuring with AItagrave's, destroying their back module with a console command should make them revert to the proper AI threat evaluation. (Oddly enough, assigning them a ship to escort also resolves the issue).
Since none of my gifs never load, I made another video.
