Default Merchant fleet in SH5

Hi,
One of my favorite mods for Silent Hunter 3 is the Merchant Fleet Mod 3.2 and the optional skin pack mod you could use to change the appearance of the merchants by year as the war progressed. I am sure many of you here know this mod.
From the readme:
Quote:
DESCRIPTION: An optional enhancement for stock SH3 v 1.4 and supermods like GWX. It contains hundreds of freighters, tankers, small craft, naval auxiliaries, and other surface craft likely to have been encountered in the Atlantic theatre between 1939 and 1945. Over 60 base models and thousands of skins represent vessels from nearly every major maritime nation and dozens of historical shipping companies.
Quote:
NEUTRAL SHIPPING

Some ships may not fly flags while at sea. Others may only have neutrality markings on the hull, with flags, home ports, etc painted in distinctive colors. These ships may be transporting war materiel or they may be true neutrals. It is up to you as a commander to use your discretion when making attacks. Try examining vessel behavior, deck cargo, and course - ships around British ports, for example, are more likely to be enemy. This simulates the uncertainty that real submarine commanders had to deal with, in a world where belligerents camoflaged their ships and neutrals carried contraband illegally.
I loved what this mod did for sh3 and I am wondering if it would be possible to create something similar for SH5 (Open Horizons II?) If there is a modder out there looking for a project....this would be a great one Just wishing out loud here
