Changes:

• Ship Module Size & Tech Level Re-balance Notes: As we get closer to 1.0, in an effort to align our current ship module stats with our original design, ship modules have been updated across the board. We’ve re balanced them so that they better take into account:
  
• The size of the mod, and
  
• The tech level of the mod
  
• Size - A 1x1 mod takes up 1 slot space in the ship layout, while a 2x2 takes up 4 slots. It would then stand to reason that a 2x2’s numbers should be around 4 times (4x) those of a 1x1. 3x3s would be 9x a 1x1, 4x4s would be 16x, etc. What this means is that, on average, larger size mods will now be more “powerful” than their smaller counterparts. But their power base, power draw, and weight will also have gone up. So pay special attention to power and weight, especially when equipping larger size mods. Tech level - The intent of increasing tech levels of a module has always been that the mod’s stats get better. With this update, the value proposition will be a lot more clear. Increasing a mod’s tech level will now always:
  
• Increase its beneficial stats, like damage, armor/hull, movement boost, etc.
  
• Decrease its non-beneficial stats, like power base, power draw, cooldowns, weight, etc.
  
• The largest increase / decrease of stats happens between tech levels 1 -> 2, with moderate stat changes between T2 -> T4, and incrementally smaller stat changes with each tech level after that.A note about weight: We’ve always meant for module weight to be another factor in deciding which modules to use and upgrade. Most ships have rather large cargos after all. With this update, weight has been increased significantly across the board. Who knows, you might have to start using cargo mods to compensate.And a reminder: CSC is still in Beta. While we tried to take into account the balancing you all have been playing with for the last several months, what this all means is that you may have to adjust your loadouts. Once-powerful modules may have been slightly nerfed, but there’s plenty more mods out there that you’ve been ignoring - probably of larger size, or higher tech level - that will no doubt become your new favorites.
  

• The best module equipped will apply 100% of its boost to sub-light, next best 50%, next 25% and so on.
  
• The Max Sub-light speed is now capped at 5,550 mGU/s (just under light-speed).
  

• Shields now have cool-downs, when disengaged or brought to 0 you will have to wait to re-engage shields.
  
• Max shield amounts and Shield recharge rate have been updated
  
• Cloaks now have a cool-down relative to their size. When disengaged or scrambled.
