I wouldn't really mind the Balance mod here, as the game will be interesting enough anyway (in a regular game, I find that the Balance mod kills the one remaining part of novelty). Still, I'd much rather have more varied systems than in Balance mod. In full-tech, more systems should be directly useful, or at least not so bad (black holes are a speedbump, if that much).
So, perhaps it should be Balanced planets but with some extra systems... at least the pretty good ones (Binary/Trinary/Asteroids, and maybe Nebulaes too). I'm Neutral about the other settings, so I won't go off rioting.
I don't actually speak English, you know. What I use is eighteenth-century French with funny vowels, and a few thousand words ripped off from German.  I've always used English English, not because I like them in Albion, but simply because it's closer to French. So much easier to always write "centre" instead of using "center" in English, or to stick "-ise" no matter what.
I'll be shipped out of France as either a language assistant or a lazy student, actually (might even be a lecturer in university, though that's pretty unlikely). The next stage in my studies involves research, though, and I'm having a hard time finding *one* project that could be even remotely interesting (doing research in humanities isn't exactly my cup of tea... I suppose it would have a wee bit more exciting in CS).
So (*), I'll almost certainly sneak through the border next year, though *how* exactly isn't particularly clear yet. I might also end up in Wales or Scotland, and not in that small piece of land known as England.
(* : Notice the use of "So" in every other sentence or so. I'm not sure where I picked up that annoying habit, though. I've heard a couple people put the "So-sayers" around Seattle, but I'm not going to discuss the various flavours of American accents. No, really.)

Well, we can just play on a game-generated map for those "weird" systems you want, I guess. I'd hate to ask someone to go to that kind of trouble--making a Balanced Mod map and then modifying it.
But, you never responded to my other game suggestions.
As to language, "centre" might be as easy to type as, center, BUT, "colour" takes extra time over, color. As does, flavour (instead of flavor).
And then there are those other mind-numbing word they use like, queue (instead of the shorter, line). Or, rubbish bin instead of trash can. Or bonnet instead of hood.
