Notice about future updates to this mod!
First of all: thanks for all the downloads and nice feedback you have given me over the years.

Your feedback certainly helped foster my bad conscience for not always keeping my mods up-to-date as quickly as I would've wanted. Sometimes it's been days after Egosoft pushed an update - sometimes weeks... months even, maybe?
Anyways. The reason for me being slow was that originally I just began writing mods only for myself. Then I shared them with you guys - especially the ones fixing the main story in the first months after the release of X4 - but sharing quickly changed the way I was working on my mods from "doing whatever I liked, just for fun, just for me" into "putting in extra work to make different versions or settings" and so on.
Next thing I noticed - I was working on my mods even tho I'm not even playing X4 myself. Modding turned into tedium. No like. Want cookie.
So here's the deal: with the release of X4 Version 5 and the DLC Tides of Avarice I picked up X4 again and started a new game. It took me about 10 hours into the game before I missed my old mods and just like that "the spark" re-ignited and I re-installed and updated the mods I missed most.
...and I decided to share my update.
BUT
I also decided to only update/upload when I myself am actively playing X4 - and I will no longer maintain mods and/or branches that I don't personally use.
I'll leave the old versions up and if you like the vanilla one for example: please feel free to download the old versions, compare them, download the new version and replicate the other branch to your own desire. These mods are but simple text files and anyone with half a brain should be capable to tweak them to their liking. Who knows - maybe for one of you that's the the kick that opens the door to modding. In that case please feel free to use my mods and improve upon my work. Give some credit if you like and please let me know about it in the comments - maybe I switch to your mod too or point to it for ppl that want more regular updates.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ да нет, но может
Thanks for u
