There's some serious attribution errors here. The project clearly needs to be labelled as a fork of UQMHD, because that's what it is.
No-one has done more work on this than Damon, and that includes you, and me.
Seriously I don't know where you got your credits.txt, but it's not based on anything in a repo.
Please re-include the UQMHD section from this one:
https://sourceforge.net/p/urquanmastershd/git-new/ci/master/tree/content/base/cutscene/credits/credits.txt
and just put your section at the top. You've earned it. But you haven't earned the right to deprive others of attribution.
I'm not listed in your remixes or programming sections, for example. All the bugs you initially listed as fixed were fixed by me and re-ported back into the UQMHD codebase.
That's a matter of public record.
Additionally, I think putting yourself at the loading of the game, and removing all Project 6014 references from the opening is just kinda an ugly egomaniac type of move. You didn't earn it.
Other than that, I quite like what you've put together - it's good that there are updated packages for all platforms.

I like it.
Alas, I am neither good in graphics, nor in coding, nor in whatever relevant to create games.
keep me updated!
PS: keeping the Ortogs might incite revolts, as those are from the SC3 lore, which some here reject.
I don't remember them being present in the SC2 lore.
(I personally found them one of the better ideas of SC3. - One I acutally really liked, independent from the idea of what the Ortogs were...)

I came here actually to make a request, in case you were working on the mod still:
Can you please, pretty please, make Arilou's laser 64-directional instead of 16? I miss sooo often with this laser. It kills me a little bit inside.
Hi there,
I agree with your feature request, it's something I've wanted to do for ages. It would help Arilou fight off Shofixti (in PvP anyway, the PvC match-up is a different animal), which is something I want to enable as much as possible. In the past, I never quite understood how to get extra firing angles for the Arilou Skiff, as its laser behaves a little differently from other sources of auto-aiming laser (Earthling PDL, Ur-Quan fighters, Chmmr satellites). I might be able to puzzle that out on my own. It's definitely possible, whether I end up figuring it out or not.

Wow, cool to see you are still working on this! I have been playing a lot of UQM melee during quarantine, but have been using 2.09 the whole time. Some radical changes in here, like the Supox. I had gotten quite accustomed to 2.09, will take some new adjusting I guess. I didn't mind the Ur-Quan's "gimmicky" bolt, because I thought it improved my accuracy greatly. But after playing a quick round with the new Ur-Quan, I have had pretty good accuracy so far, so maybe the new sprite size is sufficient to help accuracy.

I play with Arilou a lot, but it's really frustrating to be at point blank range to your enemy and still miss with the auto-aiming laser. Sometimes I get near ships (especially the Vux) but I miss half (sometimes more!) of my shots. Being closer helps improve accuracy, but you can still totally miss even extremely close. It's just due to the limitations of only having 16 aiming points. Against smaller ships this problem is worse obviously, but you can still miss a Kohr-Ah quite often, even when close.
I understand that Arilou had its range nerfed in this mod. I think that's appropriate and fair. But perhaps as a compensation for this, you can make the aiming 64-directional, so that when you do finally succeed in getting close enough to your enemy, you actually get the payoff of a hit. 
After all, maneuvering quite close to your enemy is very dangerous. So I think it's only fair that if you brave that risk to get close, that you be rewarded by being able to deliver damage to your opponent. Basically I think if you succeed in getting into range of your opponent, you should get a guaranteed hit (as long as you have the battery for it).
It's rough when you miss a lot of your shots, as it wastes time/opportunities for a hit (forcing you to take more risks again later) and also battery spent on missed shots.
Cheers, and it's nice to see this mod is still alive and well.
