I fear that the easy things are pretty much fixed by now, hard coded stuff is all that remains.

And we need more modders!

On a semi-related note, I am writing a role playing game for the Silent Hunter series (different personality types for the crew, random biographies, random events during crew watches, and so on). It sort of drives me crazy how you ship out with the same exact crewmembers every time.

If there is enough interest I may release it. As of right now it's designed to be played on paper; depending on what is or isn't possible to mod it may be integrated into the game itself.
