Well, for the most part this is BTDT, MO. And the reasons why are sure to be beaten to death without my aid (although if it actually does rise to the level of "controversy" in my mind, I'll "clarify" a few things
). I will say this much, though: the combination of passive and wakehoming homing logic is definitely very interesting. Assuming they've done it right and that the two routines do not interfere with one another, that would definitely make the wakehomer a more practical weapon to use against manuevering or high-aspect targets. This sort of innovation is very healthy for the community, and I'd like to see if MS and LW/Ami can work together at adding new innovations into a single mod, if possible.
Where I would see controversy erupting over this would be if the introduction of new "alternative" mods causes further fragmenting of the DW community. We're already small as it is, and we've seen people who haven't been willing to go to 1.04 Stock, and even more who feel completely uncomfortable with mods altogether. If we end up in a situation where everyone has their own favorite version that they play, then MP is effectively done for. It's too soon to say that's what's happening, but the re-tweaking of the 688I's speed--a choice I happen to agree with--is a bad omen with respect to this issue.
