Google Doc for what has been changed.

Here is where people can discuss the balance/possible changes to both mod to accomodate each others. I will point out the main issues first where community insight and opinions will be appreciated

Q1 : Should Fallen Weaponry be striaght upgrade to the highest tier of the ESC, or offers alternative power (Fires faster, lower range etc.)

Q2 : What to do with resized XL weapons, do I get rid of them, buffs them to be even better than the best L-sized of their types, or make them have niche application?

Q3 : Should I keep the current ESC systems where FE tech can be beaten by normal tech (T6 shield atm is equal to DM deflector) or should I buff FE tech to be superior to others?

I will offer possible methods on each point.

A1 : Possibly a combination of both, depending on how good/op the weapons are (This is the easiest part of them all)

A2 : My plan atm is to rename the description of Resized XL weapon, so that instead of shrinking the weapons, we are simply advanced enough to put XL Tachyon Lance on L slot, but at the costs of much much higher energy consumption and same range as normal L-sized weapon.

AKA: Only slightly lower damage than XL, but eats more energy than an actual XL, lower range.

A3 : My plan is to make it so any Dark Matter-related techs will keep the current ratio to what ESC established. But any Dark Matter-related tech used on FE ships will buff them to be either comparable to the best ESC component, or simply superior.

The reason being FE ships are designed specifically to work with Dark Matter Tech, so using DM Tech on a DM ship will naturally make them perform better than on other kinds of techs.

Feel free to offer your cents or discuss anything related to both mods here.
