Holy ****, the xenons are quite hard, at this point (~15h in game) they start taking over argon prime. And neither me nor the argons stand a chance. Problem: the whole universe is out of essential wares for shipbuilding, while xenons only need Ore and silicon.
I'm not quite sure if this is due to your mod or because of the faction war mod

I only get this when I use the faction enhancer mod. VRO alone has never caused such massive imbalance. It's why I no longer use faction enhancer.

you need faction ai mod as the game will start wars as soon as you start a new game, it gives xenon massive advantage,

and hull parts are missing the most as the vro rebalance uses more hull parts to build ships, xenon are dangerous no matter what you do :mrgreen:

Still, faction ai mod boosts xenon expansion for me as well, so, if you want a challenge, use it.
@buzz2005 I changed material costs only for destroyers by like 15%, so it should not be that heavy problem for economy

Just wanted to post the beta Cerberus is awesome (if a bit of a death machine). I also love the new throwback names and the fact that you can buy more than the civilian potato gun blaster now before becoming an ally of anybody. The new 2.0 is looking really good!

Also, the issues I was seeing with the old version and 3.0 (running into stations constantly) have all but disappeared with 2.0.

I guess you meant Centaur :) it still has a placeholder collision mesh that is a bit outside of actual model, but i hope this will be fixed till official released.
Thanks for the feedback. Any thoughts on new missiles? (and i suggest to download recent version from github)

Yep, I meant Centaur. :D

I actually don't typically play with missiles, so I'm not a good person to ask. I do greatly enjoy the new bomb launcher I'm seeing on my Peregrine. She's becoming a very good anti-cap ship. I just took out a Pirate Behemoth single-handedly (that admittedly had gotten beat up a bit by SOMETHING before I caught up).

Yeah, bombers now are those few that can do this really, may reduce anti-component damage a bit though :)

Good stuff! Just tried it out with 3.0 and it's working perfectly fine so far but I'm sure a bug or two will come up since it's meant for a different version. Really appreciate the re-balance to give it the good ole X3 feel.

Thanks!, and yes, VRO 1.96 works with 3.0 but is miles away from what 2.0 brings.
VRO 2.0 for 3.0 will go in open beta when 3.0 Beta 5 will be released, so you'll be able to try it on following weekend i hope

As far as i remember they should be approximately the same, but keep in mind that M now has 2 additional guns - Xenon short-ranged plasma guns, so its firepower has doubled. Do they cause trouble?
