What this mod changes:

General:

*Defilers now have a 60 second build time and can only be built on 4 planets, Hypori, Wayland, Endor, and Nal Hutta

*In multiplayer, the Empire starts with 3 TIE Fighter squadrons, and the Consortium starts with 4 Z-95 Squadrons

*Consortium can now build Z-95s in multiplayer

*Income upgrades costs for Consortium have been reduced to Rebel and Empire levels in multiplayer

Heroes:

*All non-hardpoint hero ships have had their HP and shields reduced considerably.

Weapons:

-All weapons have been modified to have streamlined accuracy, range, and damage.

*Lasers are accurate against all enemy types

*Turbolasers and Ion Cannons are accurate against ships and decreased accuracy for smaller ships such as corvettes.

*Weapon Penetration has been changed and streamlined

(Ion cannons and Mag-Pulse Torpedoes do double or triple damage against shields, and no damage or little damage to hulls)

(Turbolasers do double or triple damage to all hulls)

(Mass Drivers do quadruple damage against small craft hulls, triple to corvette hulls, double to frigates hulls)

-All ships have had their costs, AI Power, and build times modified based on an equation that (combined with stat weights) judges the cost based on capabilities, HP, shields etc.
