Okiday, Since I've now had more than zero requests here for my mod, I'm starting its topic, with, y'know, updates and info and stuff.
So, here's some history, hopefuly not interfering too much with George's timeline (Which I looked at to develop this history):

the history of Talon!
22nd Century. 2124, a few months after the discovery of the St. Katharine's Star System.

A small group of poor citzens on the commonwealth decide to follow their dreams and strike out into space to "forge an empire in the stars". Talon is born, a movement devoted to the achivement of individual goals. Potential "recruits" are interveiwed, and slowly the Talon movement grows.

2126
The intitial credits brought and donated to Talon begin to dry up. A decision is made, and the Talon industrial corporation is born, a public and financial front for Talon. At first they sell off junk looted from raiders and drifting wrecks...

2127
late in the year 2127, the first TIC station is constructed.
Over the next few decades, Talon industrial corporation grows. Its reputation as a refuge for those rejected by their own kind grows, and soon many outlaws are attempting to join. The initiation tests toughen, and those with criminal histories are only accepted if they have exceptional skill as pilots.

2243
As the Syrtis war starts, Talon supplies weapons to both sides. Soon, their dealings are uncovered, and are attacked by both the commonwealth and the martians. As chaos ensues, Talon goes underground, and their veiws increasingly extreme...

2278
After the decimation of Talon, They re-emerge, with new ideas and beleifs, apparently in-touch with the animals of old earth. They form into clans, loosley aligned to their animal and station, although still allied to each other, the clans hold seperate ideas. Many clans will no-longer accept new "members", and only those born into Talon may join. Those who refuse are equiped with basic ships and banished to the commonwealth (Often told to be a terrible place, akin to hell, within Talon)

24th century
Talon continues to grow, becoming larger than ever before, developing their own weaponry and culture.

What he means is that you haven't actually said what the mod is. You've only provided a link, without giving any description.

alright, you're gonna love this update. Anyone remember Red Pig's milenko LASC? well, this update adds a more balanced version, using (I belive) perviously unused graphics fromm transcendence. I'm also gonna get to work making a hangar update system similar to reactor upgrades for the next update.

Nice.
Heres an idea for you make the Talon stations sell All talon items and nothing else.

I think they do that anyway. KensaiCorp stations do.

nah, I used to do that, but it gets boring. They stock some random items, and always have a few TIC items.

I made a Fichikai mod that added like 300 new items to the game, ranging from furniture, equipment, entertainment, household items, food, drink, transportation, etc. I even made novelty cheese holders...

EDIT: I accidentally deleted it, though... :x

Harsh well for the KensaiCorp mod make a Kensai Station at every preset galaxy (Not random) Ex: St-Kath Eradni Ect
That way they are esier to find also try putting the station's around the sun so you can find it

I'm surprised evilbob lets you talk about KensaiCorp plans in his topic. Like i said on teh UTF, evilbob, if you didn't notice. Somethings wrong with the image in the non-creation file.
