Hello.
I'd like to say that this faction is one of the best I've tried so far, and possibly one of the best around for Starsector. The sprites are great, the ships are balanced and fair and fun as hell to fly.
I have a bit of an issue, though, and that's with the sustained ion beams. In the games(Homeworld 1 and 2) the ion cannons would fire for a few seconds and then cycle off to cool down and recharge, and with these ions not doing that(also most of them missing the classic sound), it breaks the feel of them somewhat.
If you feel up to it, could you include short-duration versions of the same guns? And possibly large double-mounts, like seen on the original Battlecruiser(which is the Sajuuk-khar class in this mod. Which I love, by the way. Haven't yet gotten to fly it, though.)
PS, if you download my mod, I actually used the actual sound files from Homeworld 2 and synced the Ion Burst Cannon and Ion Stream Cannon's charge-up, burst length, and charge-down to those sounds. </shamelessplug>
