My concern is about IBL's Merchant Mod. When he finally finishes the mod, does any of you guys plan to spend the extra time and make it GWX compatible? I mean in terms of damage modelling/sinking behavior + recognition manual, etc.

Yes, 1.04 is to be the final version.
Regarding IABL's merchant mod, given the structure that Bigboywooly has built into the random campaign layer and its relationship to convoy merchant assignment, there shouldn't be much work to be done to make his merchant mod compatible with GWX.
Regarding the damage models for the new merchants... in part yes and in part no. vonHelsching was our damage model officianado and we wore the poor guy out during the development of GWX version 1.0. (The last version that include new major content.) Though all damage models will remain influenced by the global settings in the Zones.Cfg file... building new damage models from the ground up... it is no longer practical for us to attempt it.
That being said, if former GWX devs are willing, once we are sure of the parent model of the new merchies in question... given time, they will likely have GWX damage models ported over from the relevant ships in GWX... and possibly be a perfect fit. (Though I wouldn't look to the GWX devs to do much for a NICE LONG BREAK after release of 1.04, LOL.)
