SE's Best Quality, And How to Improve It

Oh excellent.

Yes, it would be very interesting for different races to tend towards intelligence rather than research (and then to specific kinds of intelligence, like sabotage or tech-stealing), or to focus on building different kinds of fleets, or designing ships with different kinds of components (which would be reflected in their research tendencies), etc. The possibilities are really endless, and it would give the game a much better atmosphere.

I am playing the Balance MOD now, and I have not noticed different civilizations building or researching in markedly different manners....but I could be wrong?

I'm sorry, why do people keep doing "MOD" all in caps?
It's not like it's an acronym, it's an abbreviation.

MOD

from now on, the reason why i am typing it all in caps is because it bothers you

That type of behavior is not going to earn you much respect around here, aside from the fact that trolling is liable to get you kicked out.

Notice the comment draws attention to the problem without singling you out. Many people have done it when they first got here.
Just take the tip and improve your posts with it.

Personally, I took thebigsilly's response about MOD to be a joke, and I thought it was kinda funny.

To be persnickety, if mod. is an abbreviation for "modification," then it needs a period after it. Maybe it's an acronym for "Modification Of Design," in which case "MOD" is correct. Although, commonly used acronyms often drop the capitals, as in radar and laser. In which case, "mod" is correct.

Mod is not an acronym or abbreviation; it is a full word in its own right.
