[h3]Pravda Heavy Industries by Meridius_IX / Lucas[/h3]
Pravda Heavy Industries adds several large grid encounters as Space Cargo Ships.

These encounters may appear neutral initially, however they will quickly become hostile if approached.

Log: The Great Space Nation is a mod that strives to add interesting encounters to space.

There are two new factions you'll encounter. Log is the primary force you'll be fighting, while Log Mart is a business that brings the economy back into relevance.

A must have for all BSG Fans! Adds a modified vanilla Cannon and a Custom "120mm_Flak_Explosives" in Ammo Boxes.

[h3]'Fu Xiao' Class Civilization Ark by ARC17Alpha[/h3]
The "Fu Xiao" class civilization ark is not a colonial ship, but a special ship for the continuation of civilization.

Therefore, the design of the living area of the "Fu Xiao" class takes the city as a template as much as possible to build a living environment close to home for passengers, rather than putting crew members in a freezer to spend an endless wandering journey.

The Madokai MK5 is produced by Aegyr Grp. on one of their atmospheric forges. The unusual shape and coloring of this craft, quickly made it popular among the more wealthier traders and explorers.
