Requesting help to test new Bounty Mode balancing mod

Venima

The mod is already implemented but it needs tweaking and testing, and I can't do a reasonable job of it without some willing play-testers. This mod is specifically designed to reduce the jump in difficulty between lower and higher ranks, and also prevent the player from creating an unbeatable ship early on.

Is anyone willing to give it a try and see if it improves your Bounty Mode experience?

Here's the link to the mod: Mod link.

How to install: After clicking the link above, click the little download icon in the top right corner. Then to install it in Cosmoteer, go to Mods, click the droplist icon in the top right corner and select Install Mod...

Venima One thing I did notice is 1x1 armor is 100c while 2x1 is 400c. I think the 1x1 is suppose to be 200c?

Downloaded, I'll give it a go.

Teg >_< whoops. I'm not quite sure how I missed that. Ok, I've re-uploaded it with the fix. Same link.

Does this mod do enough? Is the difference noticeable? I do wonder if it might also be worth increasing the number of enemies spawned per sector..

It would be cool if you add a level-to-unlock system wherein you can only unlock specific items when you kill a high rank enemy. Ex: You will unlock the shield gen. when you defeat rank 2 enemy ships.
PS: I haven't tried your mod yet and idk if there's already a mod that implements that.

There's no mechanic to implement that yet afaik, but I could make the shield generator really expensive.. The problem then is, all the enemy ships with shields become a bit more powerful, because bounty mode's price system ignores module prices.. I think that would make the late-game more imbalanced.
