I've posted v0.94 of the Balance Mod for download here:

Code:
Version 0.94 (04 November 2006)
-------------------------------
1. Changed - Increased structure for Emissive Armor
2. Fixed - Engine movement bonuses will now only apply when all engines are of the same type
3. Fixed - Error in AI research scripts
4. Changed - Made some changes to AI Empires racial traits and weapon choices
5. Updated - AI Scripts
It turns out the AI not researching its own weapon techs was a mistake on my part but it's been corrected so no more wasted research points.
The upcoming v0.95 will be a more significant update and will be released shortly after the next SE:V patch is out next week.
