Have fun modding! Here are a few quick responses:

- Anti-Matter Stream Weapons. Requires Physics 4. The
Mean Gun, long range and enormous damage.

How will this be different from the Wave Motion Gun?

- Quantum Reactor. It's no more, there's a new engine
with no supply consumption, yet you still have
to worry about supplies for your weapons or other
components. Req Propulsion 10 and Resupply 5.

Great idea!

- Capital Ship Missile. No longer the god of weapons,
had its reaload increased and seeker speed
diminished. It's still a good weapon.

General concensus is that cap ship missiles are already too weak after the early game. I suggest beefing them up rather than toning them down. Depends greatly, of course, on what you do the Point Defense Cannons, if anything.

- Fighters. It's now a bit more expensive to build
swarms of it.

Same here as with cap ships. Fighters are (mostly) inneffective except as a surprise tactic.

- Mines. Damage diminished to half.

You might want to try cutting their damage by 1/10, but increase the amount you can have in a sector by 5. Just a thought...

- Advanced Traits. Costs have been balanced out.

See PVK's balance mod for a great balancing of characteristics and traits.

- Religious Technology. No changes, never played with it.

The Religious Talisman is viewed by many as being over-powered, though in a game with experienced players, it can be a liability since everyone will try to kill you before you research it.

- Organic Technology. Research costs lowered, Replicant
facility improved and extended. Lost all weapons.

All the weapons? Seems extreme.
