So I just released a mod worked on for like an hour to hopefully test a couple of balancing issues and let the community get their saying and possibly test whatever balance issue that needs tweaking. Therefore I also open this thread here, to get your comments and ideas below. I will be posting the mod description and the workshop link to it below.

The Real Shit
. Experimental Balance Mod
.. Built on Build. 260
This is a server mod: BCFF780
by. Chariot
The meaning of this mod is for servers to try find the best possible balance for public server games.
I wish that this should give the marines a slightly better chance to win late game (from today's 40%) to a hopefully 50/50 chance throughout the game.
It also will provide a slightly easier way for aliens to protect themselves against early marine rushes.
The goal is 50/50 and 30 min+ rounds if teams are even throughout the entire game.
- I will be taking all comments into consideration and if decent they might be tested, to see if they work or not.
