Default Re: PvK Balance Mod Version 1.1 posted (for SE4 Gold Version 1.91 - Patch 4)

True. Again, although that's a great method for making maintenance more understandable, the idea of the mod was just to change the costs, not the effects.

Suddenly I'd have to mod vehiclesize.txt, which would mean it couldn't work seamlessly with (on top of) other mods.

I guess there could be a variant though that would be for mods which use your maintenance correction - is there a set of mods that all use the same values? (Proportions uses this, but it already has the empire costs balanced, and I assume P&N does too).

All ship get maintenance reduction of 75% (instead of 0%)
All bases get maintenance reduction of 88% (instead of 50%)
