COOL H:

Will down load and take a look.  I did something similar.  In addition i modded the all the base game blue prints to primarily get rid (or limit) of BestDefense which i hate. Still experimenting, in most designs i replace one or more instances of  BestDefense with one of each defense type, also trying a mot to defensive components E.g. armor gives a small boost against beam and missiles.

Also added some new support blue prints to combine support and weapon type Augments on a massive hull (which the AI can and does use some times)

I kept engines alone and just refrain from building massive speed racers. But i must confess i do sometimes make a "Scoot and Shooter" to pick off pirates and lone AI's nipping at me on big maps. Adding a combination of Targeting, Jamming, Weapon Augments on ALL ships? Takes up a lot of mass on medium and smaller hulls. 

Nice mod H.

You always have great mods. 

Thank you ! 

As far as I know, they don't (unlike previous GC games).  However, I've given up on paying any attention to the Metaverse since most of my scores there are 0 from games I've started only to run tests or develop mods, and there doesn't seem to be any way to remove those scores.

Just number crunching here. In my tesets I have further reduced base Accuracy too: Beams 70%, Missiles 65% and Kinetics 60%. The highest possible buff to Accuracy is 115% (Techs, Traits, Component stacking). This will take Accuracy of Beams to 151%, Missiles to 140% and Kinetics to 129%.

I have added base Jamming to hull sizes: Tiny and Small - 20%, Medium and Large - 15%, Huge and Cargo - 10%.

You can then gain a soft maximum(4 Thrusters) of 285% from Techs, Traits and Components. This takes Jamming to 77% for Small and Tiny, 58% for Medium and Large, 39% for Huge and Cargo.

Thoughts??

Sidenote, with 4 Engines and max Tech average moves is between 28 and 37 depending on Race. With a movement cost of -50% so in effect ships move 56 to 74 moves per turn.

Thats correct

Sure, you do not have to ask, I consider all my work available for the community to do what ever they please with it tbh
