Re: Mods vs. Shipsets
1. Usually shipsets are just ship pictures/race pictures/etc, and don't change the game at all.
2. No. Assuming the author has put together just a shipset. Oftentimes, you'll see the shipset advertised "with AI files". But even these files modify only the AI that uses that shipset.
3. Depends on the Mod. The TDM Modpack changes no gameplay aspects; it adds only new AIs. Certain other Mods are compatible in the same way.
All Mods, however, have to be installed to a new directory--so retrieving the "original" files is very easy, and often the Mod will have simple directions.
Also, Matryx (I think) has created a mod-picker. You may want to check that out.
4. They're interchangeable.
5. Not sure what you mean. Players can use whatever shipset they wish, as long as it's been uploaded so that other players can download the pics. Is that what you mean?
6. Not that I know of.
