Greetings.
I've started creating a few add-ons or extras for the Balance Mod. The first batch includes:
Random Research Events:
- Introduces variability in research by allowing for breakthroughs and setbacks
- See here for more specific details:

Small Systems Mod:
- Reduces the size of solar systems, but maintains the small visual space and scales movement/sensor ranges to the smaller system size. Increases turn times and general performance by reducing the total amount of ship movement that has to be done and reduces the number of objects in nebula and black hole systems.
- See here for more specific details:

Be sure to read the special notes because some of the extras may not work with your current save games etc.
