I don't always play High-Tech factions, but when I do, I play ScalarTech Solutions. In this video, we take a closer look at one of my favorite "smaller" faction mods. Consider supporting ScalarTech development and the IroncladLion channel.
These videos take weeks / months of playtesting, research, interviews, recording, and of course, editing. All support is much appreciated in this nutty video production adventure.

Other fun facts:
The EMP relay on the Filament actually puts out a fixed number of arcs per second distributed across fighters, so fighter count doesn't matter. Very clever coding, not so clever Ironclad. Nia has also informed me my pronunciation is terrifying.

True, there is Nostalgia edition for the hardcore Neutrino lovers, I should have mentioned that as well. However, the mod still hasn't been updated by the original creator.

Shadowyards has some weird hullforms that are certainly worth taking a look at.
