BTW, a quick update:

I've added some more things to the mod, but mainly I'm working on races and AI currently. I've got a few races done already including UkraTal, Abbidon, Amonkrie, Cryslonite, and Drushocka. Things ARE moving along, it's just taking a while. Now that I have a few new standardized research queues that I can modify for each race depending on their favorite weaponry and racial tech, things should move faster. Thanks for being patient.

Here is a patch for the P&N "hardened mini-shields"

I just went through and re-balanced the components.
They now provide roughly 10% to 20% more hipoints (shield&armor combined) than shields at the same tech level (but you need armor tech, too).

Before it was "off the top of my head", but now I went through and did the math, tweaking it.

Just replace the HMSs with the ones in the file here.

Coolness. Thanks -- I'll incorporate the changes immediately.

I assume that the Tonnage Structure := 10 for type III is a typo and should be 50?

Is the name and the amount of armor (Tonnage Structure) the only changes?

Here's a teaser and also a call for comments. I've modified the AI research queue for a number of races now. I'm posting several research queues here and would appreciate any comments on them. These files tend to make weapon research a high priority and significantly alter the queues from the original race. They also use the "Filler Tech" mod from GodEmporer (WONDERFUL idea, btw). I use Xeno's AI_Tech_Mod tool as well and it makes modifying these files extremely fast compared to the old text-file editing.

Anyway, enjoy the sneak preview -- and please comment on these if you wish.

I changed the structure points, and the shield points on ALL three components, and I might have changed the tech requirements slightly.

That's why I just included the three components, so you can just copy & paste over top of the old ones.

Hmm, not sure what happened then, because the old components and the new ones both had the same tech requirements and shield points. I guess I already changed them =)

Check the components for:
HMSG III: generates 65 shields, not 75
HMSG I: 20 pts armor, not 30.

If these things are correct, the rest probably is. (But there are more changes than just this - see the file attached below)
