It would be a HUGE help if they released a program that let you observe in real time the movement of a ship's various sub-components. Right now the main obstacle to modding ships is how long it takes to align the masts, funnels, and other parts properly so that nothing's off center, floating in midair, etc. I have to input XYZ coordinates in Pack3d, run a mission to observe the changes, and then alt-tab to get back into Pack3d over and over again. The actual modeling work in Wings3d takes very little time.
