Weapons/Ships/Shields Balance and Realism MOD

I was wondering, is there any MOD out there that really balances the ships and weapons and shields so there is no "uber" ships?

I just want a MOD that makes the game more balanced and REALISTIC...

Yes. Go check out my XML Toolkit Mod, 1.2

Your Mod looks pretty cool, and I have yet to try it out, but is there a way that I can make it so:

- Class 1-6 equip wont exist at any dealer or on any ship.
- House Police, House Criminals, and Civilians have class 7 equip..
- House Militaries and more advanced civilians and criminals have class 8 equip..
- "Fronteir" Ships/Criminals and more advanced military ships have class 9 equip..
- Then class 10 can be rare, advanced equip that is specially used?
- (Then I can use 2 of the lower class slots for special classes for Gunship equip and the other for battleship equip)

And even aside from all that, I plan to balance those 7 -10 classes more so there isnt a huge gap between them, (so even a Liberty Police fighter with class 7 equip can still deal great damage to a borderworls fighter with class 8 or 9 equip.

To do this, will I have to change a lot of things?

Well, practially the whole guns will have to be modified to be balanced together and to be changed of classes, so I would say a very good amount of work

Yeah, what he said. Which is what I did.

Ok, but I'm having some trouble using your mod. I activate it in the FLMM v1.3, and launch the game. Then I click new game and the game minimizes itself but I still hear music. Then, 5 - 10 seconds later it crashes and an 'ol MS windows error report screen pops up.

:-/ , Is there somthing I'm doing wrong?

Most likely cause is that you need to delete your Autosave, or it may be time to clear out your FL directory to get rid of junk left behind by other mods. See this link if you're unsure what to do.
