Better would be to have EVERYTHING about the RC modable. It should be possible to arbitrarily organize the manual, in other words.

For example, it turned out to be amazingly difficult to get it to look anything at all like ONI208-J. Having ships organized properly by the quick visual inspection, then working down to more and more details (passenger? Composite? Yes. Counter stern or cruiser? Counter. MFKM? etc.

Or the ability to put merchants by country, etc.

All that needs to be possible to mod—devs don't have to do it, but make it POSSIBLE.

Exactly. And try to keep the things we want included or fixed from not being Hardcoded.
