I look forward to testing it tonight.
It seems like you and Webster are being way too testy with each other. You don't need to be duplicating each other's work, you need to be paying attention to how YOU are doing things and not copying each other's methods.
I doubt that Webster thought about the implications about what he said about you not testing his mod. Why would you even LOOK at his mod? As soon as you do you can be accused of copying. And you are encouraged to do things the easy way instead of first-hand research. Webster does not know that your mod has been in research for over twice as long as his. He only knows he released first and is assuming you are trying to horn in on "his territory" as a johnny-come-lately.
Players benefit when two truly independent mods are produced to address the same issue. Two heads aren't twice as good as one, they are about four times better. Just like the runner who looks back at his pursuer, breaks stride and loses the lead, it's best to look at the track ahead and run your own race. Later you can compare notes and mods, perhaps combining different methods to achieve a better mod than either of you can produce alone. Maybe there will always be two mods. Is that such a tragedy?
So far I notice that your mod has slower acceleration than Websters. Your mod has better station-keeping in convoys. I have noted one collision of convoy ships in your mod and none with his yet. Both mods are a thousand times better than stock and either mod alone would be perfectly acceptable.
