Do you have any documentation regarding making your own set of upgrades? I think I've identified the files I need to edit, but I'd like to make sure before I try anything. I'm also pretty sure one of the files contains all the stat IDs used to define what stats can/will be modified, but it doesn't look like it has a couple of (weapon-based) stats I'd like to use (namely, ammo/magazine).
I'm trying to see if I can sorta make a weird mash-up of your intentions for balance with ESR's "balance

? LOL

" legacy. (Or I'll just give up and make something more inline with ESR's OPness. Guess it'll depend on my mood with how I want my endgame to be like and how much effort I feel like putting in...) I really like ET's UI/UX compared to ESR's and I liked ESR making SS feel more like a typical RPG with the stat boosts. Above all, ET looks WAY easier to customize compared to ESR (ET's methodology is straight-forward, from the looks of it).
Well, plus, you know, the ongoing support for ET going forward versus ESR's deprecation.

If you don't have any documentation, I'll just poke around on my own with a stripped down SS install at some point. (Got too many mods on my current install; takes a while to start-up.) Though the "missing"(?) stats will hinder my plans.
Thanks in advance either way!
