To you modders: Its great that you want to improve the game by modding, but how about we get the unmodded game fixed first. Had your energies been devoted to this, by your own modding but mostly by contacting Aaron and pointing out the flaws, I wouldn't be writing this.
First, Aaron has probably been just about completely buried in Messages from various players (modders and otherwise) over the Last couple of years (or more). The game has changed dramatically during that time frame. I have never seen a game where the players have had so much input into how the game works.

Second, people do not always agree on what the correct solution is. Read the "New Patch?" thread and its discussion of engine overloading weapons to see the problem. Other than to make it moddable (sp?), there is no solution that will make everyone happy.

Most of the points you brought up are not new. And, they are slowly being addressed. The big gripe with formations used to be that it didn't have enough slots for a large fleet. That has been addressed. As SJ pointed out, the mine issues are being addressed. There are still more issues, some of which may never get addressed, but it is not because the modders are wasting our time on our own little mods. (Of course, we are not getting paid to fix the game, so really, where we spend our time - a LOT of time - and energy is our own business, not yours.)
