I disagree with you there.
The talisman concept in the stock mod may be flawed.
That is all.
The game itself is not flawed because of the talisman.
Playing the game under normal conditions it is not a problem.
But when you factor in fqm maps , changing the default systems to greater than 100 then yes it becomes a problem
but then your not playing stock. and your playing a modified Version of stock.
Simply put there is no way to fix it without creating other balance problems.
So why not leave it as is since we can deal with it.
This will most likely be the Last patch... Do we want effort spent in this area when we ourselves can change it ???
And there are other aspects of the game that should be looked at.
Unless of course you have a solution you would like to share with us that balances the talisman once and for all
