Seeking advice: shipsets in PBW

There is absolutly no way to block the auto-update of Steam.
It is enforced by the way Steam makes you enabled to play.

steam shouldn't affect mod data files though.
is 1.74 out for steam now?

Yes, and since it's not yet on PBW, we can't all upgrade. Darn Steam!

Obviously, the ship sets are NOT the problem. Weird thing is that he says he's using

SE5 V1.71 with Balance Mod v1.14a (Folder name 110+)

which is the version I set (and have on my PC). He DID upgrade to 1.74 before I told him let's wait, and had to uninstall/reinstall. Any possibility that some vestige of the earlier version might have hung around in a subdirectory and is now messing things up??

That is patently false, and it is quite easy to disable auto-updates on a game by game basis. You lose the ability to play un-updated multiplayer games that run through the Steam servers (mostly just Valve games), but that does not affect SE5.
