Greetings.
Version 0.97 of the Balance Mod has been posted. This update focused on improving AI designs and adding mixed-use colony types for them. There were a few adjustments to free up space on some ship types.
Although this version is compatible with previously saved games - I recommend starting a new game with v0.97.
