Rebalance 3.40 full final version is now available
Latest version of Rebalance has reached its final version, it's already available for download at rebalancemod.com. It will be very soon posted here on LR as baked is already working on that(thnx baked! 
)...
here are the details:
v3.40:
-includes patches from RB 3.30 final + Dagger Xr patch.
-fixed the Jupiter Obs. station giving missions inside Planet Jupiter
the models in my SW pack are from the Darksabers Ultimate Craft Pack(DSUCP), so credits go for Tony "Darksaber" Denton for makig them. I converted, re-textured and configured them for use with Freelancer.
-use the ModSettings.bat file to set up choices of the mod, like OpenSP mode, disabling cutscenes, levels of difficulty, levels of encounters in the EFA system and more. Syntax: Modsettings.bat X:, where X: is the letter of the drive where FL is installed.
-new systems added, made by Augur:
Iowa
Illinois
New Jersey
Carolina
-added jumpholes or jumpgates to existing systems to fit the new ones
-fixed the loadouts of high level BH and Corsairs/Hessians/Outcasts. Added combined missiles loadouts to them, like class 1 and 3 or class 2 and 3, of different levels.
-increased the power of the faction guns by 16 to 20%.
-recommend to the server admins to use the low density setting both for EFA and for the Edge worlds. this will prevent the server of crashing when players go and pvp or do missions in these systems.
-added Augur's ship pack made specifically for Rebalance, it contains 11 ships as folows:

-fixed the ship in the Freespace ship pack by Caid, they got now corect LOD ranges and don't dissapear during cruise, thrust or rapid maenuvers anymore.
-each ship has a specific maneuvrability in conjuction to its own shape, for ex: wider ships have less roll but better pitch while longer and thiner ships have better roll and less pitch.Ship class ps also a key role in maneuvrability and inertia in flight.
-restored NPC and player shield regeneration to defaults(lower) settings.
