Dear gouldjg.
I am a SH3 newbie and have been playing ... or rather ... investigating the game for a couple of month now and quietly learning the ropes and lurking this forum and it's many spinoffs.
I have been trying to sort out the positively HUGE amount of major and minor mods and what general portfolio of mods to choose to get the best possible game experience. As such I see three main paths namely GW, NYGM or mix'n'mod-it-yourself. However, I have come to view the combined randomization efforts from you Sir, JSCones and Hemisent via SH3 Cmdr as an absolute must on top of any chosen main path. You gentlemen are working wonders and I regard your work as the subtle invisible spice that makes or breaks the dish ... THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THE FORCE !!!
So I must admit that I have been following your posts very carefully and must confess to being very symphathetic towards your approach and way of thinking about the whole realism vs. gameplay issue. I am therefore aiming at hooking the bait when the upcoming NYGM v2.0 surfaces and then adding 'THE FORCE' on top.
So please Sir, do not stop your marvelous Hollywood extravaganza. I went to your blog today and read your last comment to the 1.10 thread in which you hint towards premature burnout due to lack of community interest. I for one am very interested and very appreciative of your efforts. I would very much love to see 'THE FORCE' turned into a proper mod shining on top of NYGM v2.0.
I really think you are onto something extremely important, and if your Hollywood template could be utilized by you and others in the know (this community has plenty!!!) then the proper values could be aggreed upon and we could all benefit and have easlily implemented, randomized yet realistic (still remembering gameplay) behavoir of ships, crews, guns, munitions, environment etc. ... modding at it's best!
So please Sir! Grab some well deserved R&R and make sure the important things in life are still cool, but then come back to finish your great endeavour in style with an attitude best described with a corny Hollywood movie quote:

<Sonny bull> Daddy! Daddy! Let's RUN down and f**k a cow!
<Pappa bull> No son! Let's WALK down and f**k'em all!
