I don't have a big problem with using a mod. If we can still meet the intent of the game and address these issues, the someone can make it.

- First, I won't be making the mod for this first run of the game. I haven't really put anything even this simple together yet and I would just delay the start of the game in the unlikely event that I found time to make it. I have no problem if someone else wants to make it.

- Second, the mod should absolutely minimize changes to the game and only change the ship restrictions (and WP's, etc) mentioned in this thread and the game setup info at PBW. This is because we should minimize the variables so that we won't have to have many games to iron out tweaks.

- Last, and most important, players agree to remain flexible for gameplay issues. If some unforeseen issue comes up, we may yet have to address it with a gentleman's agreement. Should this happen, I don't want to have to restart the game with a new mod. It is the feedback from this game that would lead to all the other tweaks that people are mentioning like satellites, planet capture, etc.

That's my opinion on the matter of a mod. All 3 of these would be easier with no mod, but I'll play with one if these issues won't be a problem.
