That is true.

How it works:
in "c: \games\se4", there is a "path.txt" file.
Normally, it points to "none", so the game uses the datafiles starting from "c: \games\se4\"
components will be read from "c: \games\se4\data\components.txt"

If you add a new directory in se4, say "c: \games\se4\mymod"
then you can set path.txt to "mymod" instead of "none"
now, the components will be read from "c: \games\se4\mymod\data\components.txt"

Any data files that cannot be found in the mod directory will be loaded from the defaults if possible.

------------------------
BTW, are you still interested in making that Trek mod?
