Keep 'em comin'

I suppose I might as well nominate my own Balance Mod as well - http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14766. AFAIK it's the only comprehensive mod based around rebalancing and fixing existing content rather than adding a bunch of new stuff. (I also fix about half a dozen base-game bugs and numerous text lies, bits of confusing text, and punctuation errors.)

I think, now that it's finished, I can finally nominate Captain's Edition. Good variance, true to the original look and feel, and hard as nails (arguably, even harder than vanilla) - what else could you ask for?

WIP mods are ok as long as they are playable and not in concept stages.

Favorite mods?

--Descent into Darkness, (you really went out with a bang, there, DryEagle.)
--Prototype Federation Fighter, (It's just a lot of fun to play.)
--The Capital Cruiser, (Playing as the rebel flagship in a non-overpowered way? I support this!)
--Federation Auto-Assault, (You get to be an auto-assault! What more needs to be said?)
--FTL Captain's Edition, (I don't agree with the stupid triple-shot letos, (those are boss missiles) but other than that this mod adds so much it needs to go in.)
--The Potential, (This ship more than any other needs RNG luck. And it just makes me laugh whenever I see that RIDICULOUS reactor indicator.)
--Ion Battlecruiser+Insane difficulty, (Great fun, glad you found a way to ramp up the difficulty and STILL make me feel like my ship is OP. Did beat the boss, (once) too.)
--Foundation of the Federation, (Not done yet, but the idea is so interesting, and playing as a ship with 5 hp is the most terrifying thing you'll ever do in FTL. DON'T EXPLORE THAT ASTEROID FIELD!
--The Incursor Cruiser, (The ship image is FANTASTIC, it has its own soundtrack, story, (WIP) custom weapons, and just...yeah.) and
-- Infinite Space. (Just cool when you get that god-ship and it never has to end!)

Any more or do we wrap this up and get to voting?

Actually having just played it I'd like to nominate the new Auto Cruiser v1.0.

I also feel like I've not played tons of ships I'd nominate if I had only gotten to them yet. I'm not asking to hold the vote but maybe make this a rolling thing so new (and newly discovered) mods can have a chance? Maybe redo the vote every time say 10 new mods are nominated? Or would that be too clunky?

It all depends on how many mods are created. In fact i now wish this was started sooner, we could have had a feature of best mods created over a certain time period.

We could certainly hold a periodical vote, just not sure what the period should be.

That's why I was thinking of basing it on number of nominations, not specific time period. If we get 10 really good ships in a month, maybe we should have a new vote. But if nothing happens for 6 months why bother?

Infinite Space is just great.
Descent Into Darkness is AMAZING to play with, and as mentioned on the DID forum, OVER 72 LOADOUTS POSSIBLE!!!
Robotic Cruiser is great fun.
I'll add edits if that's allowed... (Meaning you're fine with double/triple/quadruple/etc. checking the comments)

And I think the List should be changed in either a 3 month period or a 6 month period...
