mod: new but doing a good job! Gothar
overall forum presence: sorry Alex i think this award should go to a non-dev. I think i choose Faiter ,because i think he helps a lot of newcomers.
not just with his video's but i see his advice popping up now and then.
modder: This is a tough one, since there is such a large diversity in modders. i think i'll go for erick doe for not creating so many small and unfinished mods x) with such variety. He might not have created so much finished products ,but you can see he tries his best.
spriter: I for one should actually know this one, i look onto my judgement thread every day and judged (probaply) all spriters here.
It's again a though decision. some spriters are neat, some are diverse, some are just unique ,but if i must choose i'll choose Xenoargh.
He can change any sprite into something good looking. he created so many strange and unique ships without making them look ugly.
i think originality should be more appreciated in spriting since i've seen so many standart sprites.
coder: imo every coder is good since i suc so much, but lazywizard is indeed a genius.
video maker: there are just two video makers right? i am not a really big fan of looking at games instead of playing them except with yogscast but they dont make video's of starsector so i have no judgement on this one.
story maker: same , not such a big fan of lore..
mod: i would say uomoz corvus... but i dont, it's been put together really well and its certainly the one mod i would play but i think i'll go for interstellar federation ,its good looking ,has so many nice weapons, i have nothing bad to say about it.
Best tc: i have never played it but still i would choose okim's ironclad mod , which had such a unique style and it seems to work really good.
best mod resource: trylobots ship editor , but just because choosing my own judgement thread would be arrogant
