I have been working on a new mod for the last week or so, and am looking to start testing. I am hoping to be able to complete the remaining big features within the next few days and throw it on steam.
If you are interested in testing, please download the file and let me know what you think!

Current Beta Features:
An additional sector “Distant Eclipse” in Devries
A new cluster “Center Stage”
Contains 5 Sectors:
“Smoke and Vapour” – Contains the Devries gate and large gas clouds;

“Shattered Moon” – The Asteroid field with a New “Plutarch Separatists” Enemy;
“Nexus” – The central sector, has most of the stations and is the most secure;
“Hidden Agenda” – a forgotten Terran research outpost (under construction!);
“Indigo Station” –The sector in orbit around the planet “indigo” contains a unique city station;

A New enemy, the Plutarch Separatists.
This is mainly a permanently negative PMC based faction.
The custom Built “Indigo Station”
A large city-station. This is to be the default hub of Center Stage. Feedback needed in regards to layout, performance, look ect.
Retextured Celestial Objects – The Gas Giant is partially retextured to give a fresh feel to the sector. The planet Indigo is made from entirely new textures
In Development:
The Terran Research and Development Lab
Located in Hidden Agenda – a recently abandoned lab has been restaffed by the republic of canteran with the assistance of the federation. This lab is responsible for the creation of the new Kunai interceptor, with more ships under development.

The “Kunai” is based on the small Birog and boasts top notch shielding, top of the line cannons and retains its speed. While undoubtedly one of the most advanced ships ever designed, it is still an interceptor and will fall prey anti-fighter weapons and heavily armoured fighters.

Planned Features:
A second faction – The Argon\ Canteran\Albion Federation, aka ACA Federation or simply the Federation.
This faction will be mainly to lower the administrative burden of creating jobs and sector security. The federation will be solely responsible for dealing with the planned Xenon threat and policing the Nexus Centre.
In addition to Nexus Station, the federation will possess a joint shipyard that will be responsible for rebuilding all federation ships

Nexus Station and Highway tube Integration – The station is perfect for a highway depot. I intend to re-position all the zone highway gates to be a in within the station area.

Two new sectors – Xenon Overwatch and Indigo Descent – A tough Xenon sector, home to the production facilities that will bring havoc to the cluster and a low orbit descent into a retextured world.

I would like to thank the talented modders for all the amazing guides on this forum. Hope you enjoy!
