✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 115 endorsements and 3,839 downloads — solid niche pick.
- Opens up new roleplay opportunities by letting you ally or fight factions like ComStar.
- Simple concept that slots into existing campaigns without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Limited to contract additions — no new mechanics or content beyond faction jobs.
