(apologies for the bad gameplay lol, I never know what to put here, and the recording always lagged during the intense moments like dogfighting)



I just wanted to make a quick appreciation post for all the modders, and for the game itself.



Let me start by saying just how **good** base Nuclear Option is. Out of every modern flight game out there (arcade, sim, and everything in between), NO hit this perfect sweet spot in so many ways. It nails that balance between arcade and sim without demanding hundreds of hours just to learn a single plane. And speaking of planes,you don’t have to pay a cent to try the shiny new one. *unlike a certain something*



While Mitch and the rest of the team are working on the next update, we’ve got these incredible modders pouring their time into creating content and even whole features that starkly improve the game. New aircraft, new mechanics, quality-of-life stuff you didn’t know you needed, it’s all there.



I mostly play single-player, mainly because I worry too much about being a burden in multiplayer. But I’ve never once felt bored. There’s always something new, a new mod, a new plane, a new mission, a new livery. It’s just this constant, organic stream of content.



I know there’s some criticism about how most (if not all) mods are only available through Discord and GitHub. Personally I don’t mind, but I totally get why that’s a pain point for some people. That said, there have been real efforts to streamline the process, the NO mod manager is basically \*the\* tool now, and it makes things way smoother.



I genuinely believe this game will get that “evergreen” treatment, where the community keeps modding and adding content long after the devs stop updating or overhauling things beyond the original scope (think Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Minecraft, or even something like RimWorld).



And best of all? We’re still in *Early Access!* Just imagine the full release, or official mod support with proper tools and guides. It would be insane, everyone’s modlist and gameplay could look completely different, and the game would just keep evolving.



So, a huge thank you to the devs for making this game. And an even bigger thank you to the modders who create so much content with no pay whatsoever, purely out of passion.



Here’s the mod list I’m currently using (all of these can be found in the Nuclear Option official Discord or through the Primeva 2082 channels, but feel free to comment if you want a specific link for any of them):
