Hey Twinge,
While in the end our balancing edits probably ended being quite different from one another, I just thought it's worth your knowing that your effort in this mod is what kicked me off to do the ZHO CE Mod (mentioned in the 26 Flagships thread): I was quite irritated for some time about all kinds of balance issues and had made a big document of them on my own time, but never got around to doing balancing for one reason or another (likely either laziness or not knowing how to do FTL modding). Once I read your first post in the thread though and saw that you were doing some of the
exact same things I was doing - or at least along the same lines - I realized that I wasn't alone in thinking what I was thinking and thought I'd actually do something about it. At this point I don't really recall anything specific other than Hacking's being more expensive.

Anyways, thank you for doing this - whereas others have enjoyed your mod directly, I must confess that
I never did play your mod, but instead just incorporated much of the ideas into my own and got to appreciate your work there: your work inspired me to create something big that I've enjoyed myself and I thought was worth sharing with others as well.
Again - thank you,
