Balance Mod to become Stock SEV Petition

I see the points you're making - but I think everyone (not just 90%) could be better served if the Balance Mod was just included as a game type with SE:V itself - either through a future patch or expansion.

Everyone would be better served with Balance Mod being stock and stock being the extra gametype, we shall call it old stock or Unbalance Mod, hmm I think I may have something there

[Captain Kwok]

If both are included then what does it matter about the name? Both would be available for the user to choose from when starting a new game.

Also consider by making the Balance Mod "stock" then it becomes many times more of a challenge to update/revise in a dynamic manner. And let me assure you the BM still has some ways to go itself...

Ahh but for mod makers we dont want a dynamic stock we want something that will stay basically the same. The current stock works fine for that but is [censored] in every other department. We need a stable and balanced stock and making the Balance Mod stock is the best way to do that. It doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be better than the current stock which it is and by the time the next patch is released I bet you can have the remaining bugs smoothed out, and if you need help getting it done in that time frame I will assist. It doesn't have to be perfect, I mean look at stock SE4 it had problems and some balance issues but not nearly as bad as stock SE5.

I think Kwok's point is the Balance Mod isn't ready to be stable yet.

Personlly wail I like the Balance mod. In most of the things it dose. I perfered the higher levels of tech under the stock setup. I could take a smaller ship and win 9 times out of 10 in the stock. And I will also say I have not had time to look at the balance mod.

There are things I would like to see in there but since we have not gotten all the information to add them in yet.

One of the things I saw in one of the other mods for SE4 was Planets was them having some random ablitly. Such as could hold more cargo. act as storages for other stuff also. Which is not in the balance mod.

There are other things That I will think about and ask The captain about when I have more time.

But for the most part I think it should be add as a stander mod that is updated with SE5 and in the patches for now.....

This is one of the main problems with stock and why I will never play it.

Current stock is basically an Unbalance mod to Kwokstock.

I think we need this to be included in the next patch.
I also think it would be best to also have the current stock stick around.

Having two selections by default can only help to encourage people to download more.

Let Kwok do his thing unhindered or burdened by the "offical line". It's not like it's going to be difficult to incorporate the Balance Mod into other mods. You start making CK's mod the "offical" AI and now he has a heap of pressure on him. Unfair.

Be sure to check the tp before you start! Nothing worse than running out of tp in the middle of a good bm!
