This part of a post by Ken begs a question:
Now, I think anyone who's been around the various boards, both here and elsewhere, or been part of the 1.3 beta, or stood between Dx and Spock for any length of time, or or or...
sorry, getting a bit off target... hopefully you get the idea...
anyway, I think most will agree that the most controversy generated with the highest volume of BS thrown between attending monkeys has been...
(drum roll please)
when FIXING issues with the game bumped heads with CHANGING parts of the game.
C'mon, you have to admit that 99.999% of the controversy about the BZ2 1.3 patch has been the reaction of MP players coughVETScough to patch changes that affected unit performance and weapons balance. Most of the complaints about BZE (Dx's BZ1) have been about similar changes to balance.
Every time things come to a head we see the same statement: "Why can't you just FIX what's wrong and NOT change anything else?".
So, the question is, and it's all up to Ken, should 'extra' changes be made or should he take his own advice when it comes to anything other than bug fixes:

On the other hand, it's all just ODF files. If people are willing to come up with values that the community can agree on, I could include it in the package. Getting the community to agree is the hard part.
