This is an early version of this mod. It might have some errors. It will also evolve over time to include new features. If you have suggestions or problems, leave a comment.

A bunch of the most popular mods that make NMS better, all merged together in one PAK for your convenience. Authors include: Lo2k, Babscoole, Exosolar, Jasondude, Gumsk, WinderTP, Lenni, and FriendlyFirePL, with probably more in the future. All authors have agreed to be included in this project and can pull out at any point for any reason. Donation points are split between authors based on the relative popularity of their contributed mods.

The goal of the project is to improve the game without significantly changing gameplay and without negatively impacting any game features. This is a very early test, so please leave comments with problems or recommendations. Everything is built with Luas, so if you know how, you can customize the pack to your liking.
