Oh, so allied ships wont regenerate supplies by just being in the same system?

Allied ships will receive remotely distributed supplies, but a Resupply Depot can only distribute a couple thousand supplies per turn, so there's only so much to go around. The RD owner's ships have first priority, so outside of a stopping at an ally's planet, it's not very likely your ship will get anything.

In the next version, will there be plans to improve migration?

Re: Balance Mod
 
Short of writing a completely new script in the Events script file, the only thing one can mod about migration is the amount of the effect.

Race Starting Percent Migration := 5
Race Migration Added 1 Percent Per Population Amount := 1000

- minor AI nations shouldn't offer intersettling treaties: as they do not leave their home system, they don't benefit from those

- AI is too eager to exchange colonization techs. Or the big nations simply demand them from the minor ones, I don't know.. . Or maybe this is ok - haven't seen the AI use remote mining ships/stations, so settling everywhere is somewhat ok to make it challenging to the human player. Problem with this: you can remote mine ressources, but you can't "remote mine" research/intel (research stations would be cool, but beyond the scope of a rebalance mod I guess)
There's a bug with colonization techs anyway. Starting with IceCol, I was offered Ice/Gas Col tech when dealing with a race which started with Rock Col and had aquired Gas Col tech. No way for an ice dweller to get Rock Col tech from other races.

- AI only uses PD 1, ever.

- planet types (values) need rebalancing (since SE3, I think ;-) ): ice worls are mostly small, gas giants are .. giants, mostly. What gives a huge penalty or boost, respectivly, to the races which have them as their home environment. As an equalizer, gas giants should be much lower on minerals/radioactives, but they're not, as it seems. And there's nothing in favour of ice worlds: maybe make them have generally ok or better conditions, so environmental resistance (or how it is called) isn't a factor for those races ?

Re: Balance Mod
 
The planet types are actually quite balanced. The Gas Giants appear larger but that's just a graphics thing, they are created in the same ratios as rock and ice planets

The AI does research and use point defense about level 1. If you're starting a game with 0 tech points, it might take them a bit longer to start researching more levels since they are researching more theoretical techs like physics etc.

Started with 50k research points, and it's turn 148 now.
And all AI designs I know have PD 1 only - but weapons and engine tech 3-5 !

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V
 
as I was looking in the vehicule sizes file, I noticed a possible error in every carrier types:
While text is "30% must be filled with fighter bay or drone launcher" the formula is
Requirement 7 Formula := Get_Design_Ability_Percentage_Of_Hull_Space("Units - Launch", "Fighter") >= 30 or Get_Design_Ability_Percentage_Of_Hull_Space("Units - Launch", "Drone")
instead of something like
Requirement 7 Formula := (Get_Design_Ability_Percentage_Of_Hull_Space("Unit s - Launch", "Fighter") + Get_Design_Ability_Percentage_Of_Hull_Space("Units - Launch", "Drone") ) >= 30

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V
 
I'll change that for the next update. It'd be good for if you want to mix and match fighter bays and drone launchers on a carrier.

Does anybody know why terran ships have fewer armor slots than other races?
