Wow, this exploded overnight (not that I'm complaining about the attention *inner attention *** preens*
).
I'd like to ask this as well, because it's a real sticking point for me:
I
could if just scripted some java to add tags to every appropriate ship, and no one would say I have to ask permission to post it, courtesy or otherwise.
But I abandoned that path when I realised it would just blanket add them, and that a human mind would be needed to first analyse the context.
So answer me this: Why does making my mod respect other mods
more mean I suddenly need their permission?
The answer to my mind is "it doesn't" of course, hence my honest confusion.
Edit: Reading through the first page of the linked Vesper Combine it seems people would complain, which to me is madness.
No-one's forcing the author to use the mod, and no-one should be able to decide what mods a user wants to run.
Edit 2: To address the merge csv thing: I considered it, but I'd also want to adjust the weighting of vanilla (kinda) common drops, least it crowd out the other possibilities.
