The UAF mod feels like what happened if a Japanese studio was the one that created Starsector. Not just the cute anime girls, but also the design of their fighters and ships feels very common among japanese space scifi media. Honestly, this mod is making me want to get star sector. I was on the fence but I love the aesthetics.

This is everything I want in a mod review, the mod makers over at fractal forums and the discord put alot of hours, work, and dedication to make their mods a reality, and very often reviews about them are just about the ships. Thank you for making this review with as much dedication as the mod makers do
"Nice, very impressive Startsector video... but now let's see one for Iron Shell." All jokes aside this was a very well put together Starsector video thank you.
@@queteimporta7262 since the west stopped caring about creativity and just focus on "equality" and "political correctness". No wonder more and more people are preferring anime
@@renjoker5442 lol, never intended to get political. The art is pretty good, my only problem is when it comes to the characters, the anime style they have breaks any immersion and suspension of disbelief. I prefer my spacers dirty and anatomically correct than having big eyes and being cute. That aside, yeah. You are right, thats why comics are dying and manga is thriving, because of woke culture, I don't care about gay or strong women super heroes, just leave me alone with my Spawn (who happens to be a black dude but isn't the core of his personality) I swear, if games workshop were an eeuu company the emperor would end up being a simp and the matriarch of the primarchs would be the one to have united humanity. Long rant
I'm pissed at my self for not finding out about this game and this mod until 3/2024. But damn is this mad lad crazy about his mod. He should just make an anime about the UAF at this point. He'll it could be one it's own game at this point. So good.
I've never played Starsector but I've been a huge fan of MilkyDromeda's art, their art is a huge inspiration for me. I kinda want to get starsector just to play this mod now lol.
This is not normally my type of game, but damn does this video make it look like something I want to experience. Might have to give it a try! Good video and LONG LIVE THE LEGION! :P
starsector is as of now still the best as it gets for 2d topdown spacesim. especially the combat module. as shown in the vid... you will struggle to find 3d titles having such beautiful and detailed combat scenes. like in ships breaking appart, morphing parts, lightshows everywhere, thausands of projectiles, etc. given the engine could use a bit more oomph, but seeing as 3d titles start to struggle at 20+ ships on screen... the fights here get along the numbers of 40 vs 40 frigattes, destroyers, cruisers, capitals and up to 100 vs 100 fighers and missiles later on... just remember to use the most common used mods, and your golden.
I generally don't really like space games. I love RPGs and more typical fantasy type worlds and games. That said, Starsector is the only game in the past few years I have continually played and come back to. Every time I am tempted to spend $60-$70 on a new AAA game I just fire up Starsector instead. I just don't feel any desire to get any new games since I am having so much fun with it still (I didn't jump on the Starsector train till late 2019.) It's great without mods. Then when you've had your fun playing in that sandbox, start adding mods and it's almost like a never ending playground of fun. No joke, in my 43 years of life it is the best $15 gaming purchase I've ever made.
@@acronen haha, ya, exactly the same here. and when your done with the mods, the next thing your brain will tingle you is, to make your own. =P or at least a few ships, as its the easiest part. and this forumula, a very moddable basis of a game model, is teh i-win-button for indy devs in my opinion. look at rimworld, factorio, project zomboid. all highly moddable, and sell like no tomorrow =P.
The genuine love and passion put into this project is so sweet, I’ll be waiting for the 1.0 release though, experiencing it all at once sounds a lot more fun.
this was an incredible not documentary, i have no idea how no one else i see making starsector content has covered this amazing mod! I WANT TO PLAY IT SO BAD!!! i think it would be awesome if you started a playthrough of it showcasing what its like using the new ships from early game skirmishes to late game steamrolls. thank you :D
As someone who has never played this game or heard of it outside of Sseth this... this is something else. Like just listening to all of this actually makes me want to give this game a shot even though it's not something I'd normally play.
30 seconds in and I already deeply want this. I NEED this in my life, art aside, those ships are far to gorgeous (and not to 'out there' to break suspension of disbelief to be part of the sector) to NOT play with, one way or the other.
Extremely well put together video. Criminal that it doesn’t have more views. Wondering what mod is responsible for those amazing looking ship explosions tho
I only more recently have heard of this mod thanks to a friend and god damn does it look good, the art, lore, and just everything has me super excited for when I do my own playthrough soon. I'm glad I got this in my recommended as it was a fantastic video to get me caught up on everything, seriously well done man.
1 month after discovering this, i gotta say, i just come back here to re-watch your vid just for its quality, fun commentaries and the sheer awesomeness of the semibreave part =P. so thx for introducing this, as its now on my "100% in every run" list. awesome made "first look" vid, awesome mod. so... thanks!! =)
Immediately you can notice that there's a ton of effort that was put into this mod. Will definitely give this a try in my next run. Thanks for this video.
This was fantastic! I felt like I was watching a full feature film. And the comparison to Sseth's review? Imo, you can face him toe to toe, no problem! Amazing work!
At first I was put off by the anime portraits and the “my OC” vibe the faction gave off, but after mentioning that 1- they come from another dimension and 2- it’s *not trying* to be lore friendly made me appreciate it as it is: an enormous amount of work done into a well crafted project that you can mod whenever you feel like. I like it, might try it out. EDIT: BATTERING RAM SUPERCAPITAL SHIP?! HELL YEAH!
This is one of the most detailed mod reviews I've seen. Absolutely amazing. I'm running around 210 total mods myself, including loads of faction bootlegs, Discord releases that have been lost to time, Chinese mods, and pretty much almost every single ship and faction pack on the forums. Would definitely watch if you do something this similar and detailed on the other ship packs, faction mods out there. UAF + WingCom mod combo = glorious Not to mention you sound kind of like Sseth in some ways.
@@IroncladLion I have a thing for collecting. I don't know if you're into bootlegs from the past (unofficial updates for long dead mods so they work with the current version of Starsector)

Fantastic video here on the UAF dude, having had the opportunity to see the development up close and personal, its so cool to see them getting the love they deserve.
Just got starsector a day or two ago, and while looking for mods to spice up my experience I found your top 50, and your document- I mean reviews for some of these mods. Thanks for making such quality content, it really helps show these mods in the spotlight they deserve. Can't wait for the next one!
i hate to break it to you, but this is pretty much peak mod quality. What I mean is, there are VERY few actually good mods that add new ships and weapons. There are dozens of ship mods, and almost every single one of them has the most objectively dogshit designs; like every ship looking identical, filling a role already filled by many vanilla ships, and just looking so insanely ugly and uninspired. But the game is awesome. I suggest trying it. If you cant afford it or just want to try it out, go to Sseth's video and grab his CD key there; it will redeem the full game no strings attached.
Dunno who pissed in that guy's tea. But there are a multiple full faction added mods. The many weapons in the game are pretty well balanced and a good handful add further weapons without titling the balance off at all. There are even reviews in reddit and on the forum of people just dedicated to finding the most balanced mods and ranking how and how they may not be balanced. Personaly, as sone who strives to optiumum builds imbalanced guns hamper the enjoyment. But many fix this by not being re-producible
@@selectionn i'm gonna quote you on this one "VERY few actually good mods"... hmm, we must not be playing the same game? Let's get this started: Seeker Unidentified Contact, Diable Avionics, Interstellar Imperium, Legacy of Arkgeisis, Magellan Protectorate, Volkov Industrial, The Xan Empire, Tahlan Shipworks, Spindle, Hazzard Mining Incorporated. That's 11 amazing faction mods just from the top of my head. Sooo, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU. Good enough? And for the future, don't start spitting bs without knowing anything, mkay?
@@pyroball602 From when I last did a Star Fed playthrough, they're very fun to play. Though its been a year since then and the author has a tendency of overhauling the mod every other week. I can however, admire the restraint of them to not bloat the mod with an excessive amount of capital ships, only 3 or so being present with highly distinct roles. Was a bit tedious to try and fill out their roster with a single system, so I personally recommend the random sector option from Nexerelin.
Wow, thanks for the enthusiasm of your video, I never know this mod up until now, granted I never hang around main forum much and only there for the mod index. Am having a blast with the mod, much appreciated to you and the modder.
I am so pleased to have been recommended this video, you are a fantastic video maker. I love starsector, I love mods, I love in depth, non-click bait reviews. That's 3 for 3 baby! The UAF team and you are incredible! I hope you can continue making content, I appreciate your effort!
Man, I accidentaly stumbled upon your videos and it was quite a journey. Quality, editing, humour, sheer amount of time that you (probably) spent on making these is absolutely amazing. I dropped playing starsector a while ago, but you inspired me to install it once again. Hope you will continue making such high-quality reviews.
I’ve played Starsector on-and-off for years, but I always use the index each time I return. I would have entirely missed this, so thanks for the video. Definitely gonna try it out.
It's easy with a carrier fleet that has really fast frigates. or a phase fleet. Ziggy and Doom dances around UAF. Specially Ziggy, which seems to be very overpowered even in Vanilla. Carrier swarms, Paragons, Conqkeks, Onslaughts, or even Ludd's Holy Light, stands no chance against a manually controlled Ziggy. How I deal with rogue/traitor UAF bounties is to send in the fastest frigate I have, even better if it's a phase ship, scout ahead of my carrier and once any ship that has a semibreve is found or is capable of launching semibreve armed aircraft (Taufans or worse, that fucking dorrito bomber), lock into it even if it's out of my range (do this in the command menu) then launch all aircraft (Z by default).
I did not know about Starsector before I stumbled over this video that was on my RUclips Mainpage... it made me buy the game right away! This mod looks awesome, and I will try it as soon as I figured the base game out enough. Great Video, too ;)
update on your review as i just started playing with this mod 4 days ago because of your review the super-heavy freighter is now down to 25K capacity , the ridiculous experimental craft is now limited to it's own ship I.E no you can't spam it after you discover it's blueprints and the contact have been refine so that the ice cream don't work like magic anymore :v great work man i'll be looking forward to you other review :v you are THE only one person that do proper mod review of starsector man , no other people has come close to your level of quality :v
I’m smelling prime friendship opportunities with this faction as a Merc start for me in another run I don’t mind redoing if it means they get to be in the game. Gonna grab this mod as soon as I can and we’ll see the chaos that occurs.
Thank you *SO* much for bringing this to my attention, time to start up a new game! (like, right now) The art is incredible, and I quite love the portraits. I can't wait! Great video, by the way! Well structured and very informative. I don't think this mod could have gotten a better spotlight.
I think I've rewatched this video so many times that I can hear the words even if I mute the volume... Awesome vid, I look forward to more Starsector :)
Incredible video man, I have never been into modding but the passion I could hear in your review made me change my mind, I think it is time I give it a try, starting from this amazing mod
Having seen glimpses of the development progress on Twitter and in the Discord chat, looking very promising even back at the start, i'm really glad to see it in this amazing state. Well done on the massive review, might be time to install Starsector again. ^^
10:55 wait a second... is that a dry dock there on the right? And... I see something super-capital shaped there... a landing site? A construction bay? Hm... I love these small, inricate details!
I've honestly gotta thank you cause I've only ever used the mod idea page and without your video I would have missed the UAF mod which has not got to be my favorite. Also your video is amazingly well done with some good editing
thanks for this review, i finally got into the game, and man this mod really made it worth it. 10/10 would play again, and to the mod creator, pls dont nerf your ships, give it more DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!
Dear God, this is one of the best video I've seen. Your voice is similar to Cody from Alternate History Hub which is smooth as an expensive butter, and I wish to see your SS mod reviews soon!
A great review for a great mod. I played Starsector extensively after Sseth's review, but put it down to wait for the main dev to progress the game before revisiting it. Seeing this mod makes me wonder if it's time for another playthrough.
"It's amazing how when you drop enough bombs in the general direction of the enemy, space doesn't seem so big after all." Yeah, that single line summarizes Starsector as a whole pretty nicely.
26:10 "it's amazing how you drop enough bombs in a general direction ofthe enemy, space isn't quite big after all" so basically "fuck those guys in that direction"?
Super glad I found this channel and this video! Thanks so much for the review - I'll have to give it a look. I hope you keep posting things like these - it was a fantastic video and I look forward to more content : )
my favourite faction that i don't want to fight. not because they scary but because i like them, even as pirate. not to mention they don't care about your transponder being off. UAF being full of fun fighter make me want pilotable strikecraft version.
Man, i just discovered this game like a month ago, and am on my second playthrough, heavily modded. Now I find this mod, and i want to start a new game.... but this is incredible work!
@@IroncladLion Thanks! I downloaded it, and am now pondering starting another game lol. Great review though! Definitely gives credit to Star Sector and this mod.
I just started Starsector few days ago and surely i'm not gonna download or play any mod any time soon but thanks for brin this mod to me, definitely gonna try when i have learned the fundamental of the game
I actually found the Cherry Vangaurd once. A hulk, orbiting a gate that had fallen silent, surrounded by a debris field. It was totally fucked up. I had Recovered it and found a Lockheed Martin shipment of 14,000 heavy weapons in side
I mindlessly clicked this video, first 2 minutes: This mod sounds fucking awesome. What is this game? I've never heard of it. I'm gonna buy it! *attentively watching the rest of the 40 minute video* "Do me a favor and subscribe to the channel" Yeah okay, I think I'll do that. *Likes, looks at subscriber count* Wtf? 3700? How is this person's channel so small? Awesome video man, awesome channel, I'll come by hear more often :3

The many weapons in the game are pretty well balanced and a good handful add further weapons without titling the balance off at all. There are even reviews in reddit and on the forum of people just dedicated to finding the most balanced mods and ranking how and how they may not be balanced.
Personaly, as sone who strives to optiumum builds imbalanced guns hamper the enjoyment. But many fix this by not being re-producible
@@selectionn i'm gonna quote you on this one "VERY few actually good mods"... hmm, we must not be playing the same game? Let's get this started: Seeker Unidentified Contact, Diable Avionics, Interstellar Imperium, Legacy of Arkgeisis, Magellan Protectorate, Volkov Industrial, The Xan Empire, Tahlan Shipworks, Spindle, Hazzard Mining Incorporated. That's 11 amazing faction mods just from the top of my head. Sooo, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU. Good enough? And for the future, don't start spitting bs without knowing anything, mkay?
@@notioncreanga How does Star Federation compare to all of these? Considering some of these crash on my game.
@@pyroball602 From when I last did a Star Fed playthrough, they're very fun to play. Though its been a year since then and the author has a tendency of overhauling the mod every other week.
I can however, admire the restraint of them to not bloat the mod with an excessive amount of capital ships, only 3 or so being present with highly distinct roles. Was a bit tedious to try and fill out their roster with a single system, so I personally recommend the random sector option from Nexerelin.
Wow, thanks for the enthusiasm of your video, I never know this mod up until now, granted I never hang around main forum much and only there for the mod index. Am having a blast with the mod, much appreciated to you and the modder.
This mod looks awesome! Great review, well played!
I am so pleased to have been recommended this video, you are a fantastic video maker.
I love starsector, I love mods, I love in depth, non-click bait reviews.
That's 3 for 3 baby! The UAF team and you are incredible!
I hope you can continue making content, I appreciate your effort!
Man, I accidentaly stumbled upon your videos and it was quite a journey. Quality, editing, humour, sheer amount of time that you (probably) spent on making these is absolutely amazing. I dropped playing starsector a while ago, but you inspired me to install it once again. Hope you will continue making such high-quality reviews.
I’ve played Starsector on-and-off for years, but I always use the index each time I return. I would have entirely missed this, so thanks for the video. Definitely gonna try it out.
Fighting the bounties that the UAF gives is fucking terrifying, one rogue semivebre is all they need to kill your entire fleet
They also give you the Dorito bounty as well.
It's easy with a carrier fleet that has really fast frigates. or a phase fleet. Ziggy and Doom dances around UAF. Specially Ziggy, which seems to be very overpowered even in Vanilla. Carrier swarms, Paragons, Conqkeks, Onslaughts, or even Ludd's Holy Light, stands no chance against a manually controlled Ziggy.
How I deal with rogue/traitor UAF bounties is to send in the fastest frigate I have, even better if it's a phase ship, scout ahead of my carrier and once any ship that has a semibreve is found or is capable of launching semibreve armed aircraft (Taufans or worse, that fucking dorrito bomber), lock into it even if it's out of my range (do this in the command menu) then launch all aircraft (Z by default).
i cannot express how glad to see this mod get some love that it desperately deserves.
I did not know about Starsector before I stumbled over this video that was on my RUclips Mainpage... it made me buy the game right away! This mod looks awesome, and I will try it as soon as I figured the base game out enough.
Great Video, too ;)
Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to the sector friend!
This and your ScalarTech video earned you a subscriber. Great job, mate.
Simply beautiful, high quality content from this mod author. This artist is on my radar for sure in and outside of starsector
yes yes It's a Mod that I fell in love with at first sight. Its Fighter design is awesome.
The ships are pretty cool, but Diable Avionics' designs are still my all-time favorite.
Yes, Tartiflettes Diable Avionics stuff is the best for Starsector. Shadowyards is cool me thinks as well.
I don’t know what this game is, I’ve never played it ….but now I am interested in playing it after watching this video
update on your review as i just started playing with this mod 4 days ago because of your review the super-heavy freighter is now down to 25K capacity , the ridiculous experimental craft is now limited to it's own ship I.E no you can't spam it after you discover it's blueprints and the contact have been refine so that the ice cream don't work like magic anymore :v great work man i'll be looking forward to you other review :v you are THE only one person that do proper mod review of starsector man , no other people has come close to your level of quality :v
It's so cool to discover this and listen to my music in!!! Soooo cool!!
I’m smelling prime friendship opportunities with this faction as a Merc start for me in another run I don’t mind redoing if it means they get to be in the game.
Gonna grab this mod as soon as I can and we’ll see the chaos that occurs.
great video! I do hope we see more of this kind of content later down the line.
I've been following the mod author on twitter for a long while now, so it's nice to see everything in one place at last.
Thank you *SO* much for bringing this to my attention, time to start up a new game! (like, right now) The art is incredible, and I quite love the portraits. I can't wait!
Great video, by the way! Well structured and very informative. I don't think this mod could have gotten a better spotlight.
The blonde fox girl portraits is quite pleasing.
the neutral state bgm sounds so nostalgic, it makes me cry. honestly dude listening to a bgm I'd never heard before and that made me cry lmao
I think I've rewatched this video so many times that I can hear the words even if I mute the volume...
Awesome vid, I look forward to more Starsector :)
you had me at anime portraits. where can i give my money
Many come for the waifus, some come for the 'I win' torpedo, but I am a patriotic American. I am here for the supercarriers 🦅
Amazing video. Subscribed.
Thanks friend!
Incredible video man, I have never been into modding but the passion I could hear in your review made me change my mind, I think it is time I give it a try, starting from this amazing mod
This is just beautiful
Thanks you for this video and for sharing this mod with us
Having seen glimpses of the development progress on Twitter and in the Discord chat, looking very promising even back at the start, i'm really glad to see it in this amazing state.
Well done on the massive review, might be time to install Starsector again. ^^
10:55 wait a second... is that a dry dock there on the right? And... I see something super-capital shaped there... a landing site? A construction bay? Hm... I love these small, inricate details!
This is amazing, holy carp, and I´ve heard about it. This deserves more support.
Amazing overview of the mod - thank you very much for your hard work!
Great to hear, working on my next video now!
Oh my god the design looks cool. Will try later for sure! Thanks for the video
I've honestly gotta thank you cause I've only ever used the mod idea page and without your video I would have missed the UAF mod which has not got to be my favorite. Also your video is amazingly well done with some good editing
Top notch ship design. I love the clear inspiration drawn from real life planes
thanks for this review, i finally got into the game, and man this mod really made it worth it. 10/10 would play again, and to the mod creator, pls dont nerf your ships, give it more DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!
Thank you for bringing this awesome, incredible mod to the light. I downloaded it right away!
This really looks like a perfect mod for me. I love ballistic weapons
Lunamun.
You called your battlestation moon moon.
Cus funny anime reference to a space colony called moon moon
Dear God, this is one of the best video I've seen. Your voice is similar to Cody from Alternate History Hub which is smooth as an expensive butter, and I wish to see your SS mod reviews soon!
A great review for a great mod. I played Starsector extensively after Sseth's review, but put it down to wait for the main dev to progress the game before revisiting it. Seeing this mod makes me wonder if it's time for another playthrough.
Ah yes, Nuclear Fusion Tactical Warheads, the perfect implements to liberate Belka!
"It's amazing how when you drop enough bombs in the general direction of the enemy, space doesn't seem so big after all."
Yeah, that single line summarizes Starsector as a whole pretty nicely.
9:45 that's an aurora! I recognize that foam finger anywhere
Haha good eyes friend!
I'm sold. Another great vid, damn!
26:10 "it's amazing how you drop enough bombs in a general direction ofthe enemy, space isn't quite big after all"
so basically "fuck those guys in that direction"?
Super glad I found this channel and this video! Thanks so much for the review - I'll have to give it a look. I hope you keep posting things like these - it was a fantastic video and I look forward to more content : )
my favourite faction that i don't want to fight. not because they scary but because i like them, even as pirate. not to mention they don't care about your transponder being off.
UAF being full of fun fighter make me want pilotable strikecraft version.
Man, i just discovered this game like a month ago, and am on my second playthrough, heavily modded. Now I find this mod, and i want to start a new game.... but this is incredible work!
Welcome to the sector friend! It's an amazing mod, and the recent updates have added a lot since this video. Have fun!
@@IroncladLion Thanks! I downloaded it, and am now pondering starting another game lol. Great review though! Definitely gives credit to Star Sector and this mod.
Damn, my guy, you've discovered for me a fucking gem. UAF looks SICK and your video, editing is just - mm mm MMM, cheff kiss.
You had me at Fleet Super Carrier.
you have sold me to play this mod and Starsector again.
outstanding video
like and sub! :DD
It was really pleasant to listen, like love poem to something, what you passionate about. Amazing job, thank you very much:)
I just started Starsector few days ago and surely i'm not gonna download or play any mod any time soon but thanks for brin this mod to me, definitely gonna try when i have learned the fundamental of the game
This mod and this review are core reasons of why I love the internet.
This review made me get the UAF mod. it's great.
I actually found the Cherry Vangaurd once. A hulk, orbiting a gate that had fallen silent, surrounded by a debris field. It was totally fucked up. I had Recovered it and found a Lockheed Martin shipment of 14,000 heavy weapons in side
I mindlessly clicked this video, first 2 minutes: This mod sounds fucking awesome. What is this game? I've never heard of it. I'm gonna buy it!
*attentively watching the rest of the 40 minute video*
"Do me a favor and subscribe to the channel"
Yeah okay, I think I'll do that. *Likes, looks at subscriber count* Wtf? 3700? How is this person's channel so small?
Awesome video man, awesome channel, I'll come by hear more often :3
