Adding spice to the game...

Thank you, but... well, actually I wasn't asking how to introduce those changes throught modding.

I was just trying to figure out if some of them would be worth putting in the *original* game.

Modding is fine, but I bought the game mainly to enjoy the good work done by someone else.

I don't want to "work" at home again, programming my own game, after a hard working day sometimes I go back home and just want to relax playing a good game.

For what regards mining on asteroids I did'nt mean to have them destroyed, but have them "spit out" some ore-cargo maybe every 1-2 mins of mining (mining's hard work ya know? ).

Of course I also think that this odd behaviour could only be implemented by hard coding it in the game.

A really nice feature could be to add two custom screens, one for your ship, and one for your character.

Then you could add your own character attributes or ship attributes with modding (e.g.: number of passengers, bank account, etc...) and have them displayed in the game on this custom screens.

Anyway I think this game IS a good game.
It only could be better!

P.S.: (on bugs) I think that having PD not hitting incoming missiles while you are turning is not a bug, I think its more real: in fact those PDs are small mechanical rotating turrets, not laser beams, so they can fail if they cannot trace the target very well.
