Based on what I've seen, BGS really underpromised and overdelivered this time. I think more than a few mods I use are now part of the game!

Oh? Like which ones?

Tried out the cruise mode around Alpha Centauri, which if you are starting a new play through you can’t do until you have met with Constellation (no using cruise mode to get to Kreet from Vectera). I think it works pretty well, but there is a little jank with it. When you enter cruise mode, you aren’t going that fast. The longer you fly in cruise mode, the more speed you pick up and soon you’ll see planets zipping by. You can also boost in cruise mode to go even faster. There are two modes of flight while in cruise mode: free flight and autopilot. Free flight allows you to steer your ship towards things while in cruise mode and with auto pilot you select a destination and the ship does the rest. I found entering a planet’s orbit in free flight to be a bit wonky, so I started switching to autopilot when closing on a planet or moon. This worked much better for me, but your experience may vary. Maybe I just didn’t fully understand how free flight and entering a planet’s orbit works. I didn’t get interdicted during my time with it today, so I was not able to experience that aspect.

Astrogate is the big one, but at least one other would be the mod I use to upgrade gear qualities. It's a base game mechanic now to re-roll legendaries, or upgrade standard armor to superior or advanced.

Ah gotcha
