Actually, people mostly seemed to agree with the changes I put in my balance mod. I just never posted a completed Version, but most of the hard stuff was figured out.

Geo's point about compatiblility is a good one:

But the idea of a balance mod is that it could be inserted into the stock files with little or no unintedded consequences, or at the very least be a mod standard such as the TDM mod. and thus get very wide play in the community.

Since you mostly balanced the empire setup Characteristic and Trait costs, would this have an impact on modded races?

What else is important to consider? For example, would changing the size of a component mess with how an ai designs ships?

I suspect for components, messing with the tech tree and comp sizes would be a no-no. Anything else?

I should probably take the time to finish it.

Yes, yes you should
