This mod is looking interesting, I tried 2017 version, sadly I encountered two stable crashes in this mod, and interesting thing what the same crashes was appear in non-2017 version of Shadow Genesis, first one in the stage 3 of briefing of 3 or 4 mission, I don't recall its name, here screenshot of it:
http://imgur.com/a/jSMNC it is not critical because its possible to just skip this briefing, the second one make game just unplayable, it appear after 8 mission when you need escort Meleager to KY Signi, I completed that mission, when it plays 9-th cut-scene mission, and when game crashes at the beginning of 10 mission, I tried launch that mission in debug version of FreeSpace Open, it managed to launch mission if I press Continue on all warnings, but when mission starts it gives this warning about ship Lafayette, which appear again when you press Continue, so mission is unplayable:
Warning: Turret Missile Launcher on ship Lafayette has no firing points assigned to it.
This needs to be fixed in the model.
