Can the New Technology announcement be modded?

I've been renaming Components and Facilities left and right for PbC, but what I'd really like to do is have some flavor text come up, taken from my Technobabble on the PbC Boards or written in that fashion, whenever a new component is discovered, or even when a new level of technology is gained.

Doesn't look like that'll be possible with SE IV, so maybe when V comes out.

HEX editing the exe is kind of looked down upon because it also can be used for nefarious purposes.

Hex editing its self is not evil, but it can be used for cheating. well, it could have been before the checksum check thing was put in back in 1.49 (i think) to cheat in multiplayer.

you can probably still hack your .exe to cheat in multiplayer, but probably only to spy. you will have a much harder time doing things like speeding up research, construction, etc.

of course, spying is bad too. dont cheat in multiplayer.
