Since the AI can defeat any of my ships with most similar sized ships (cruiser vs cruiser and so on) i do consider them somewhat balanced, things like the Vat IV with its stupid amount of gun mounts are not meant to be balanced against the vanilla, they are balanced towards a high lvl player, so you have something to fight when you are lvl 30 other than just kill pirates all day, which i will have to change when AI skills come into play, did you also consider the size of most of my ships? my cruisers are almost larger than a vanilla battleship while my own capitals are twice as big.
I don't have any weapon with regenerating ammo, perhaps you are using an old version?
The boss fleet sits off map for most of your game session, and only comes out once you have reached the end game where your character is so strong no fleet in the game can fight you, so how is it a pain? people have defeated it with a single ship, so what else did you want to get rewarded with?
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, it was much appreciated.
