Wow, somebody has been working really hard!

[Runt]

Indeed. Not sure why you'd want to improve the parameters of the Point Singularity Projector though. Just a single charged barrage from the broadside of a Tyr will nearly destroy a Xenon K as it is, even from an Osaka it will still pretty well cripple the ship.

So -- is this more noob-friendly than vanilla X3TC?

[Zloth]

I don't know if I would recommend any mod beyond the 'Egosoft approved' ones to a new player. A big mod like this pretty much cuts you out of a lot of the player community and Egosoft's tech support. They are superb for second playthroughs, though. (DDTC is another massive mod.)
