The biggest problem with trying to make an HH mod is the EW capabilities the series makes such a big deal of. In the books, ECM can work wonders against a volley of missiles, missiles themselves can carry jammers and such to play hell with enemy PD fire control, and EW drones can actually fool enemies into thinking you have more/fewer/stronger/weaker ships than you actually do. In SEIV, ECM is irrelevant against missiles, missiles have a flat across the board defense bonus in settings.txt that technology can't change, and EW drones simply aren't possible. You could try fixing the ECM issues with missiles by using drones instead, but aside from the issues of how to make non-ramming drones one-shot items and the impossibility of dedicated ECM drones helping nearby drones avoid shots, that would make fighters unusable as LACs or missile pods because units can't have cargo.

That is one of my problems with making an SFB mod...EW can effect seekers in that it can actually decrease the damage. Plus you can have an ECM drone escort other drones or even a ship, and make them harder to hit by PD or other fire. Not to mention scout special sensors which do all kinds of things in SFB, like breaking lock on of seekers for one...or provide ECM/ECCM to other friendly units...I hope that this may be moddable in SEV...As for any mod...it can't hurt to try...One may always be surpised...
