Balance Mod v0.97 Available! |

Greetings.
Version 0.97 of the Balance Mod has been posted. This update focused on improving AI designs and adding mixed-use colony types for them. There were a few adjustments to free up space on some ship types as well.
I was able to add the Alliance hangup fix (*in theory*) but the processing times will still be long until patch 3 for SE:V arrives on Mon/Tue.
Although this version is compatible with previously saved games - I recommend starting a new game with v0.97.

Silly question
Why oh why hasn't anyone mentioned this is its own (preferentially stickied, boldfaced, and outsized-fontsize) thread?

To fix a problem with Weapon Platforms I introduced in v0.97:
Do a find and replace for all "Weapons Platform" entries with "Weapon Platform" in VehicleSizes.txt you should fix the problem.
