There's nothing ground breaking but it fleshes out a lot of things that were lacking in the base game especially 'quality-of-life' improvements that makes it easier to have your own faction as far as recruiting and management goes. I would highly recommend it even for a new player and not even bother with unmodded vanilla. Of course, the guy also bundled a lot of other popular mods like Diplomacy and Freelancer, too. It definitely bumps off Native Expansion in my book. Replaying this again with Floris mod pack for the first time.
