Star Wars Ships & Status of SW Mod

[Outcast]

Ahoy, I’m still quite new to SE4 and still learning the game mechanics. I’ve wondered too why this pretty game still has no decent SW mod available.
Next the hero-facilities, there could be maybe a more flexible method for implementing heroes of the saga to the game:

Create special hero-starships with unique unaffordable hero-components and let the player start every game with them.

Compared to hero-facilities, players could decide in which sector/system they are going to park their heroes with different abilities like economic and tactical bonuses which affect one sector, the whole system, or the entire empire.
To prevent hero-ships attacked by ordinary forces you could give them the same cloaking ability like the civilian starships of the Pirates&Nomad and Adamant mod which would be only detectable by other hero-ships’ scanners.
To make things more interesting, hero-ships could be captured by the enemy to force them providing their bonuses to the enemy side.

Here are some examples of hero-ships:

Rebels
- Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar flying on the Mon Calamari star cruiser Home One presenting the mobile Rebel headquarters which provides bonuses in all categories (happiness, production, ship/fleet training, etc.) in the sector/system
- Luke (with R2) on his X-Wing with superior combat ability and combat modifier bonus for the entire system.
- Han, Leia, Chewie and 3P0 on the Millenium Falcon with diplomatic (happiness) bonus for the current sector/system
- Lando Calrissian on his Lucky Lady space-yacht with superior economic bonuses for the sector/system
- General Madine on a Nebulon-B frigate providing intelligence points per turn, superior ship boarding, scanner, and mine-laying/-sweeping capability - acting as the Rebel hero-ship hunter

Imperials
- Emperor Palpatine on his Imperial shuttle providing bonuses in all categories to the sector/system
- Darth Vader with Admiral Piett and General Viers on the slow-moving SDD Executor with bonuses to combat and economy but moral penalty by oppressive force in the sector/system
- Boba Fett on his Slave I with superior combat power inclusive ship boarding, long-range scanning, and intelligence points generating - acting as the Imperial hero-ship hunter
