That's not your call to make.
But only because I don't know how to mod Starsector. At any rate, this is my opinion to voice.
This is about intellectual property
Umm, screw the intellectual property? The most disgusting, ugly, culturally and recreationally damaging institution modern capitalism created. I fully understand why Disney clings to it, making half of the world bend to keep their fleeting control over almost century old franchise, but why do you?
and once you start going down the road of ignoring mod authors' expressed wishes on how their mods are to be handled you risk losing a lot of future content.
It is my sincere
beliefhope that majority of the mod authors are doing what they do for the joy of creation, for the desire to have a better gaming experience and to share it with others. I really doubt there's many authors creating mods for the sake of having common people to kiss them in the ass, and if there's some, well, we're better off without their mods.
