Does it affect NPCs? If it does, I am using it; otherwise, I will use RF. The elastic encumbrance modifications is one of my "must haves". This is the last bit before I restart...unless Enhanced Economy has a "mercantile progression" component worth looking at...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. RF is the only one that I know that affects other characters in the game. I don't have a problem with that myself, I just look at it as giving myself a handicap to make the game more challenging

Yeah, I decided I cannot give up the elastic encumbrance, so I am sticking with SM Enc & Fatigue.
