(Edit) Of course after posting this I went back and read that the trading exploit is being removed in the next version. So I guess there goes one of the pros and one of the cons cause I sometimes enjoy trading over fighting.
Love this mod, but I must say that trading makes it a tad easy. Mind you, these are just my own opinions.
Pros:
- Feels brand new over Vanilla and Uomoz's mod
- Freighter's are finally using a logical amount of logistics (no pun intended)
- Trading!
- Sector map that matches star color to faction ownership
Cons:
- Very exploitable economy
- You run out of ammunition very quickly it feels like
- Many guns look and sound the same as others, just with slightly different stats
- The hyperspace background makes it really hard to see your range finders, and frankly bright green makes my head spin.
The whole trading thing is great, but at the same time without supply and demand it becomes too easy. I reached several million credits, level 42, have about 10 Civilian freighters and haven't really left Achiles and Centronom since you can trade between them and gain a ridiculous amount of levels with no risk. Also never bought a single ship either, would just click on the lottery about 20 times really fast, would get around 2 ships most times and a few weapons and some Storage passes, but never really lost money in the lottery once you can buy dozens of tickets at once and not worry about it.
