Welcome aboard!

Have you manually spliced files to make some of the mods compatible? Or do you simply install them in a particular order?

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

Man I can't wait for a Megamod.

[Badger Finn]

Yep you early birds sure have done alot! Very cool!

Following along with interest good to see the attack disk mod show up!
