I think you are on the right track here. With so many Mods coming at us, we have no time to enjoy and hesitate to mix them.
Here's another idea: If possible, we need an alarm sound to alert the 'captain' when certain events happen, when he is in the other room. I find the voice volumes so low that I cannot hear them properly. I also don't want to sit for hours in front of the screen 'in case'. (I know...use fast speed) I like realism and want to take the time to play real time.
You haven't said what skills you are seeking in the request for help. I myself have no graphical talent, but I used to program in C and C++. It has been a few yars, but I'd be happy to try some debugging to help. I'm retired, so have time.
