Game companies like Bethesda have managed to protect their games and yet allow for ample modification of the games.
Consider this simple example:
The deck watch can report the closest target with bearing and range. But the range is perfect so we usually just removed that info from the report. The config file didn't even hinted the variable which it used. If this was a normal programing environment and we could do our own scripts, we could just report an estimated range: EstimatedRange=Mod(NearestVisualRange + rand(2000)*(1-DeckCrewEfficiency),100) or something like that. The exact same goes for any feature of the game, we would be able to randomize and control everything. Direct access to any variable in the game would've been awesome.

I can see what you mean and understand it.
One major thing I haven't seen posted is how the Peri and Uzo will work in manual targeting.
Sh4 had a video on this.
