Jabenyezaa I'm currently working on the last balance pass update. There are just a couple weapons I haven't given the full treatment just yet. After that, bounty mode is up. The biggest thing I need there are more ship designs. I'm not just talking about the big behemoths either. Everyone likes to build mega creations. I need more variety in the small and medium sized ships as well.
@Atarlost To be honest, I didn't give it much thought. It's a very simple tweak from the mod's perspective, and I had a couple different people - here and elsewhere - asking if I could do it. I don't plan to add Bounty Mode ships that big; at least not at this time. I don't fully understand the idea of weapon size compared to build box though. Why is that a concern/factor? And what do you mean about the price "ballooning"? As part of my testing, I try to build ships at a given price point, and match then against similarly-priced ships. If there's a clear winner in every engagement, I tend to revisit the parts. That's not always the case, but I'm trying to use the idea of "bang for your buck" as a barometer for balancing. If a modded ship is significantly more expensive, I expect it to perform better as well. If its more even, I expect more balance engagements. If there are places where you're not seeing that, please let me know so I can take a look.
