• Comet, for excellent modelling work.
  
• CyndarSys, for Unity implementation and focusing Kuiper Shipworks to a specific faction identity.
  
• Everstorm, for Unity implementation and developing faction lore.
  
• GammaRailgun, for Unity implementation and developing faction philosophy.
  
• Hello There, for advising the team in various parts of the mod.
  
• Imperial, for organization/workflow help, and Unity implementation assistance.

The probably-not-very-awaited Sensor Rebalance update is live! A special thanks to GammaRailgun for her breathless work on this update and tying all of us in to her vision. Included in this particular update is essentially a ground-up rebuild of our modular radar system (dubbed "Radar Legos" internally). This update also fixes the mirror finish of several weapons! Hooray!

• Most of the redundant DC lockers have been cut, including the small Additive Manufactory, and all of the fast HDC lockers.
  
• The Nyste has been shoved into FactionsUnlocked, along with all of its weaponry. We regret that this is our best course of action in regards to balancing it until carriers drop.
  
• Radar buff modules have been reworked, changing them from flat stat increases to providing specific tactical capabilities.
  
• Medium coilguns have a new flavor to them! Mostly, their reload times went up in exchange for fancy new autoloading systems.
  
• Heavy coilguns have seen a reload rate buff! We've received mixed feedback in regards to these, so we're keeping a close eye on them.
  
• The Altea's forward large drive slot has been moved aft, reducing the obnoxious bowtanking capabilities of the Altea.
  
• The Kyve has recieved an extra radar buff module slot, intended to place it further into the scout role.
  
• The Cadonia's programming speed debuff has been removed. However, the hull price has gone up to 245 points.

As always, read the patch notes.

Kuiper Shipworks has been the mainstay ship manufacturer for the Hekhonian (hek-hone-ian) Union for over 180 years, producing everything from small support craft to massive battleships for both wet navies and vacuum navies.

The Hekhonian Union hails from the world Hekhone. A small world, 2/3rds the mass of Earth, about 75% covered in water with harsh mountains and small landmasses, a sapient race of avians grew to be the apex species of the world. Resembling parrots, with 6 limbs (two arms, two legs, and a pair of arms hidden beneath their wings when folded), the Hekhonian navy is one of the only factions in known space to turn their artificial gravity off while in combat.

While a Union is how they present themselves to outside factions, the Hekhonian homeworld is anything but unified. The vast majority of the world is controlled by the Hekhonian Union, while a smaller but industrially strong faction known as the League of Independent Nests opposes the Union.

Orbiting the homeworld is a deployment of Altea-class battleships, of the block 1 manufacturing run. Spaced equidistant around the planet, one may believe them to be defensive positions for a surprise attack on the homeworld. One would say this, until they saw all of the guns pointed toward a large landmass in the northern hemisphere.

While homeworld tensions remain high, the Hekhonian Union should not be underestimated in combat. If a Hekhonian warship can see you, it can kill you. And it will.
