Yeah, this definitely changes the game balance pretty steeply.
I'll give it a try at some point but atm I have a sudden urge to dive back into Discovery Freelancer and start smuggling again...
If you wanna try a pretty comprehensive mod for FL then check it out, adds dozens of new systems, factions, ships, etc and adds in fairly well balanced large ships like cruisers, battleships, transports, trains etc. Got a thriving fan community as well which is a boon considering most FL servers have dried up nowadays,
