Hey Puke, have you considered updating the Junkyard Mod? On my personal copy of it I've combined it with FQM. The only problem with it is it makes it too easy. To solve this I'm thinking of adding 100 levels or so of useless tech. You know, the all important military disciplines of Underwater Basket Weaving, Compass Reading for Junior Officers, and things like that.
If you're intersted I can zip it up and send it to you.
