Your work is very important to everyone here. You are without a doubt, working on one of the most anticipated mods to date. Your work and dedication is greatly appreciated by all.
I would concentrate on the data stuff, and leave the ship sets for later. Get the actual mod data done first then work on the sets.
The important stuff are the components, then the AI for the players. Everything else can be done later.
The mod does not have to be done tomorrow, take your time on it. Enjoy what you are doing. Hell if I had the knowledge, I would be happy to work on it for you. But me dumb.
