Warning: upcoming spoilers for EHOF/Reality Code/Crisis

I just finished a long playthrough with EHOF installed and I had quite a few thoughts on it

To be clear, I absolutely think the pros wayyyy outweigh the cons, this mod is a solid 8-9/10 for me. These are just my own thoughts and opinions from playing through it :)

Pros:

+++ Seamlessly integrates into the main game. This could be added to Vanilla and I wouldn't have a second thought.

+++ The core mechanic, the EHOF facility itself, is a much-needed addition to the game as mid-game exploration trails off very quickly in vanilla.

+++ The crisis, in terms of graphics, design and lore, is my absolute favorite in the entire game.

+++ The crisis seems to have a modified AI which is far superior to that of the vanilla AI, and I found it reacting to my actions in a way that provoked some genuinely interesting scenarios

+++ The Stellar Anihillator is awesome.

++ The Reality Code is a cool little questline with an insane discovery at the end

++ Models, graphical effects and UI all look brilliant.

+ The traders are cool and their associated backstory is interesting to read through

Cons:

--- The crisis, especially when you raise the crisis strength slider, is borderline impossible to beat without other mods. This is just a matter of tweaking some numbers, maybe it would be a good idea to make this crisis unaffected by the vanilla slider so you can still fight a strong vanilla crisis and not get annihilated by this one.

- The trader's mechanics are a bit lackluster. They have an awesome buildup, so it'd be cool if they sold unique goods rather than single-use relics.

- The ending to the crisis is ever so slightly anti-climatic. I'm sure this is something that will be expanded, but in my playthrough all that happened was Stellar Anillator did its thing and then... nothing. They were gone.

Bugs:

* Fleets seem to have a lot of difficulties pathing through Archaic Pylons, especially when it involves traveling through a Trader wormhole. I would sometimes find 10+ colony ships all stuck at a wormhole.

* The sentient metal project doesn't trigger sometimes. I saw that the devs were already aware of this so this will probably not be an issue anymore.

* Stellar Anihillator seems to be unable to properly follow fleets. When I selected that option, it moved to constantly be in FTL.

Suggestions:

* Make the crisis unable to trigger alongside a vanilla crisis. I believe this is exclusive to GA difficulty and is done intentionally, but what actually ends up happening is the Compound will annihilate the vanilla crisis, so it's sort of pointless.

* Add some more unique worlds/tech to Wormhole-Cohesive systems.

* Allow for some way to travel between W-C systems earlier, I think that the trader systems are supposed to allow for this, but as I mentioned, fleets often have trouble getting between them.

I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.

Thanks very much to the dev team for making such a brilliant mod :)
