As you see, some players are using officers settings to allow ai use officers in all ships, and setting their max level to 29. So what we have, now ai are more closer to player by power, in vanilla max AI level is 20, so it can have just 7 pilot skills, while player can have all skills, no balance as you see, modded officers can have 10 skills. Also, in vanilla max officers count in ai fleet is 10, so other ships whithout officers are so weak, it is too boring. All those changes are making battles more itneresting, you need to think how to fight, how to loadout your ship and so on, while in vanilla for some battles you can loadout random weapons whithout any understanding about it and it is enough to win, so, as you see it is boring.
So, Alex, i think it seems to be cool adding such setting throw interface, like battle size changing, so player should have opportunity to change officers difficalty at any time whithout need of starting new game. If he can not hunt it change back to vanilla settings, who want interesting game whith upgraded skill in one game set those settings up.
Also enhance station power, like tier 1 19 lvl, tier 2 24, and tier 3 29 lvl, it is station, it is should be stronger.
