Thanks Gap! I was excepting some suggestions from you obviously!

- preconfiguring New UI's with the most wanted/practical user defined settings, would alleviate newcomers from having to mess with the option viewer/editor. You could use your favorite settings. The one exception should be avoiding the activation of features which require the usage of TDW's patcher, as not everyone is able to use it (read: Steam users). This precondition would be overridden by the implementation of the next point though (see below).
- Including pre-patched exe, act ad dll files would also be a huge help for newbyes and Steam users, BUT I am a bit worried that we would run into legal issues. Better scrapping this idea until we are 100% sure about its practical feasibility.

Yes, preconfiguring is a important part of this mod. I want to make it easily playable without exessive modding. And because TDW has made his works really configurable, you can always change options if you don't like my settings. But to keep things simple, I think I will concentrate on the non-steam version, so it will be necessary to patch the game with TDW's tools. Maybe there will be support for steamers later!

- Instead of using FX_Update_0_0_21 + New Torpedoes Explosion, you could feature directly FX_Update_0_0_22, thus adding support for TDW's Ship Radio Damage patch. With some basic manual tweaks of its Zones.cfg, the latter mod should be safe as tested by VDR1981

The reason why I put FX update 0_0_21 is that I've been using it myself, and it seems very stable. There was some speculation if the new version caused crashing, so I decided to play it safe. Can people confirm that 0_0_22 works?

- If it is not too much hassle for you, making IO StrategicMap compatible with the latest UI version and including it into your megamod, would also be a cool thing. It is not the most important feature though, this is obvious.

Yes, I really like IO StrategicMap as well, and would put it on the list, but sadly it doesn't seem compatible with the new UI version. Maybe somebody will make a compatibility patch to it???

P.S: I think there is no need to say that you are free to use/tweak any of my mods
