I would also love to get a hold of this.
I found the mod in the archive here

in the 'The Terrabyte Pirate', folder, however I cannot download it for some reason, each time it just gives me a 'network error' message on the file
Perhaps you will have better luck with it, or someone might know of another location/alternative.
Just teaching myself this game, and for the longest time couldn't figure out why I couldn't see map contacts like in the tutorial video!
Will keep looking myself, hopefully might find something....
Rightio, seems that applying the ACM Lite Map mod fixes the problem. Everything seems to work! Only problem is that is gives the colour for ships being hostile/friendly etc, and I would really rather it didn't. But it works at least!
