Anatoli,
I to often wonder why anyone would want to play with most of the mods that are currently out there, as they would seem to make the game even more boring than it is post SP. I have completed the game 3 times now, the last time with Rebalance 1.4b, which, by the way, makes the game much harder and more engaging. I think it is a stunningly beautiful game and has some truely great concepts that just weren't capitalized on (random missions, faction system, level advancement). So don't think I am bashing the game because I am not. I just don't understand the point of putting 2 bases at oppisite ends on a trade lane and making them sell complimenting goods (buy for a dollar, sell for a mil.), to then turn around and make all the ships dirt cheap ! I mean what is the point ?! Yet for some reason there are people who really like this option, as demonstrated by the number of downloads and different versions of the same mod.
Now as to playing with Battleships that are invulnerable and have a gazzillion Wave Motion Guns (geek check), I can at least sort of understand that. It is somewhat therapeutic to spend an hour or so rampaging through the universe destroying everything in your path after a rotten day at work/school. Having that as your normal setting from the beginning is kinda pointless to me though.
