Probably worth noting that our programmers have an ugly track record of only working on whatever they feel like, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the mod as a whole or not. I have immense respect for @Kazinsal for even taking the time to do what he did with balance magic, but I know that he has his own projects and is really not terribly invested in Discovery. I certainly know you're not, and that's okay too.
If a programmer wants to come along and actually sink their teeth into balance magic to bring us weapon platforms that don't ruin the game for everyone who isn't actively trying to siege a POB, I'll welcome that with open arms. But I'm not an advocate of waiting for solutions that don't exist yet.
