Here are the features for the last three versions:
v09c:
-bretonia ships reverted to original, both for police and navy
-npc shields now regenerate faster and will drop as loot!
-moved the Kusari gunboat to Planet Kyushu due to difficulty to undocking to BS Nagumo(don't try to land there or on any Kusari BS with a gunboat!)
-the mod comes with 3 levels of dificulty, just run level1.bat for lvl1 difficulty, level2.bat for second level and level3.bat for third level.
-first level(easy): colision damage 2, cruise speed 400, npc shield regen 1/2 from player, npc armor weaker, npc loadout less dangerous, cruise disrupt time:4, more hp to player and atached weaps. be warned that in this level npc shields or any other equip will NOT drop as loot.
-second level(default): colision damage 3, cruise speed 450, npc shield good regen, without armor powerups, cruise disrupt time:5, more shield damage(0.6 instead of 0.5 of hull damage), normal hp to players ship and atached weaps. New npc loot drop will be limited to shield generators.
-third level(hard): colision damage 4, cruise speed 500, npc shield full regen and with armor powerups, cruise disrupt time:6, more shield damage(0.7 instead of 0.5 of hull damage), less hp to players ship and atached weaps. This level is the most rewarding with full npc loot drop like thrusters, mines, missiles, and shield gens.
the npcs are using more varied loadouts they're never used before.
-i recommend u keep default level though, at least for the begining, especially in MP for compatibility reasons, also in storyline missions don't activate the hard level or NPC's will kick your @ss and the ones of your friends. hard level is recomended for hardcore players, the ones seeking a better challenge, and much better rewards as well.
-activated the 2 hidden hardpoints on the dagger, the underwing ones. weapon loadout for storyline line hackers, outcasts and blood dragons dagger fighters has been updated(Lord Hakkera and Dexter Hovis as well).
-gunboats can now strafe as any other ships.
-increased gunboat cargo holds by 400 due to the fact that u'll lose 400 cargo units after first save/reload.
