Greetings!
There's another quick update available for the Balance Mod. The v1.19b patch makes a couple of improvements on v1.19a for the AI's resource and facility management functions. There's also a couple of small changes to Drone functionality and a reduction in combat speeds for freighters.
The patch contains v1.19a already, so if you're still using v1.19 you can just download the v1.19b patch.
BM Small Systems users should remember to re-apply the add-on after updating to v1.19b!
