I decided to fix some SL for SS mod issues which I can not tolerate anymore.
- Most SL units have bigger line of sight in comparison with vanilla units
- Hotkeys are duplicated or not set
- Squad's ranged_attackrange parameter not aligned with Squad's role on battlefield
- SL cannot repair structures/units until Tier 2
- Pioneers dies too easy even in comparison with regular troopers
- Pioneer's capture rate is extremely low without a reason
- Personal mine cost high for the "one time explosion"
- The scout sentinel moves and turns too slowly to be called "scout"
- Tank Ace can be built too early
Detailed descriptions:
The list is not yet finished but here is what I already have done.
- Rough Rider's Cavalery tracer's fix
Bolter's tracers swapped to laser pistol's one
- Cyclope Explosion
melta-explosion death effect added

How exactly is this fix going to be distributed? As SL patch or BT expansion as was originally intended? I´m looking forward to see SL updated :)
This fix going to be distributed as SL patch or as SL ver. 1.1 re-release.
Those BT expansion will have much more balance changes/reworks, and additional maps and even game mode(s).
Good to know this cool mod is still being worked on! Looking forward to this next patch!
Is this still in the works? :D
I think it will be cool if someone make the Predator and the land Rider bigger , so the dreadnoughts and the space marines air vehicle for the vanilla Soul Storm in order to make them more up scale to the units of the 40K Miniature game, the same for chaos and the orcs Sisters of Battle , Eldars and Dark eldars, ..something like they did in the Fok mod but for the vanilla game...Just a suggestion.
What happened to this and where do I find it if it exists ? I have version 1. Is there a newer version ?
Never mind I think I found it here. Forums.revora.net
