Slowing Down AI Expansion

Well, all right. P&N in this case is the only mod I know which has the one and only real QNP. Sorry, I have been aware of the differences, but not aware of the pseudo-quasi

naming conventions.

P&N is linked to in my sig.
anything with "v2" or "v1" or "classic" is for Pre-Gold SE4.
"v3" is for Gold.

A "PBW" tag means AIs can't play this; humans only.

"P&N V3.1" and "P&N V3.1 PBW" are thus very different.
Edit: forgot sig

Wrong Proportions does have QNP + restrictions on number of engines. Honestly
Which makes it not QNP. It makes it pseudo-QNP, yes. But, QNP has no artificial restrictions on number of engines. You can devote as much of your ship as you want to engines. So, it can not be QNP if it has artificial restrictions on engines, which Proportions has.

I disagree. QNP means that bigger ships need more engines. Period. Whether or not there are limits on number of engines is irrelevant.

Yes, indeed. As long as more massive ships need more engines to get the same speed - it is QNP. This is my defenition of QNP. Restriction on number of engines simply reflects the lack of "structure indurance" in SE. What I mean is that in real life, if you put too many engines on car/airplane/rocket, it will simply fall apart. Thus, the must be some reasonable restriction on number of engines, say 10% of hull mass. Otherwise it just becomes silly, IMHO.
