There is a lot to this mod that is fantastic, but also quite a bit that is alarmingly not good. Now I didnt choose the best route to take when starting my first GC with this mod, I went straight for an all factions super large game, didnt quite understand what I was doing when setting it up and thats fine, the issue came with my first part of actual gameplay. starting as the First Order I was only given starkiller base to start, perfectly fine, except i was over my pop cap by about 40 units and couldnt do anything. I took over an empty planet, and moved onto the next, where my first battle was. I became very aware of the fact that these giant resurgent class SD's were practically useless in most meanings of the word.

I'm not sure if I'm a fan or not of having just 2 fighters or bombers per squadron, or the fact that every dies VERY quickly, but thats a gameplay/realism choice of the creator and thats fine, but the issue becomes apparent when theres no super capital ships, or bombers, or any actual meaningful planetary defense to go against, and yet the resurgents are being melted away, while doing very little damage in return.

The first bug I encountered was that 70% of the weapons on the resurgent class don't even fire at all. they are just there to soak up enemy fire. I love that finally a mod actually displays and utilizes all real ship weapon systems available, but whats the point when most don't actually work?

The second bug, and unfortunately I cannot post images in discussions, was a 100% invincible cruiser/gunboat. I had 4-5 Resurgent's firing upon it at once, along with numerous squads of fighters and bombers attacking it, and it literally had infinite health. If it is most vulnerable to star destroyers, how is it that its completely invincible to them!?

This is all in a few minutes of first playing the mod, so I want to talk about some positives now

The empire/first order actually gets Quasars!!!!! Amazing! Literally not a single other major mod I have played has done this!

The First Order!!! I have not seen a single other mod depicting this late era faction, along with its resistance counterpart! including all their era specific ships!

The graphics are quite nice, and everything is immensely detailed, (although as stated, to its detriment).

So I read the "before you post", and although I find it irrelevant to what I've discussed today, my specs are here
Ryzen 7 5800XT
RTX 3060 (12GB Vram)
32GB Ram
2TB SSD

I realize the lack of any discussion posts by players, and while worrying, I hope the author sees this, along with loads of comments on the main page about issues similar to this. There will always be loads of dorks that are complaining about nothing, but what I've stated are genuine issues I've experienced in just less than 20 minutes of playing.

I will keep playing this mod because it has so much content in it that I genuinely love, and I will try to understand more of its nuances, and if this post is still up afterwards, I'll surely update it with more thoughts, positives, negatives, fixes or causes of some of the issues I've experienced so far
