*] The Navy fleets are very powerful. They also carry Navy Officers, and a Fleet Commander which is worth a lot of Credits.

*] Order weapons have been improved they are now class 7, 9, & 10

*) 12 new Nomad wrecks in 7 Nomad Infested Systems with surprises on them, and 14 other new wrecks in the other NPC systems. You will have to find them on your own. That is a total of 26 new wrecks have been placed, and one additional Nomad* system opened up to hide the best one in. (In addition, some Vanilla Wrecks have had some Weapons or Commodities changed or increased)

*) The Nomad Home World system is open moreover, it is very populated, to put it mildly. (If you enjoy fighting Nomads, this system has got to be your target destination)

*] Beefed up all ships Armor, Bots/Bats, Cargo. All ship can use Class 10 weapons. Info cards show info for all ships.

*] Adjusted the system lighting to make it more comfortable and bring out the textures in Bases and ships.

*] All factions have loot-able pilots.

*] Added many new Jump holes.

*] Made NPC shields loot-able. These shields are not the player shields. They only regenerate at 5 point per sec so are useless to the player but can be sold (Do not make the mistake of mounting one of these just because it is a Class 10, and you have only a Class 5. You WILL be Sorry. Sell it as suggested.)

*] Lights are now brighter and look very nice with the Real Space feature.

*] NPC's now take loot. So make sure you grab it before they do or you will have to kill them to get it back.

*] Open Single Player is built into this mod. Meaning you can play it in SP mode without the storyline. You start with a Startracker and $10,000 credits. You are neutral with everyone except Nomads.

*] 3 New Bases added The Osiris, Prision Station Mitchell, Juneau Shipyard

*] Planet Primus & Gammu now have Ship dealer and Commodity dealer
