    So, I had a small idea to measure how OP a mod is for Lore or battle purposes. The OP index of a mod can be measured using the following test:

    1. Design a good ship that uses the mod(s) being tested.
    2. Battle the modded ship against a vanilla ship
    3. Repair the modded ship and remove the vanilla ship
    4. Add in a more expensive vanilla ship
    5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until the Vanilla ship is good enough to defeat the modded ship.

    The OP index will then be the cost of the vanilla ship divided by the cost of the modded ship. For example, if a 2M vanilla ship is required to defeat a 1M modded ship, the OP index is 2. This test can be run multiple times with different modded ships, to produce more acurate results. I hope this can be used to better guage the OPness of mods and help defuse debates about the OPness of mods. Happy Cosmoteering!

    jbox1 I like this idea. I think it would be good to balance battles between mods.

      jbox1 people can use this in their faction overview to give people a better understanding, pointless for me as the vanilla ships would need to be above 80mil but hey ho

        QuantumRK It’s more of a generic test...

            jbox1 A generic test? Not really related to what I said but...

              While I like this in concept, I can see where the method has flaws.

              In short - It is an ultimately subjective test which is dependent upon the player's capacity to build an effective ship. One player's ship design principles may be far more efficient than another - And, by these metrics, any generic missile kite will, without fail, have a near-infinitely scaling 'op index'.

              I like it a great deal; I see holes in the execution.

              ExperimentAlpha The idea is that the test is supposed to be run multiple times, and using a variety of ships from different players, therefore adding more reliability to the final index.

                  What happens if the costs are like 120m For a modded ship?

                    jbox1 oh... Cause I think my death star is near invincible vs. just vanilla ships, But like 1 or 2 of them.

                      BattleCruiserCommander The idea of the test is for your ships to be reasonably sized too...
