Hiya! I know your rolling your eyes right now, but (in my humble opinion) your the best mod maker about - so I'll pitch my idea to you.

I love the escape-pod/slave/bounty aspects of your mod, it really adds spice to the game. What I'm looking for is a mission mod.... something that adds all the new mission types (vs bace, vs battleship, transport people, transport cargo, etc) and the new trade items. Nothing else - no ship mods or anything that would change the current balance of the SP game.
Anyway, since you have already put most of this into you currest project I was thinking it may not be too hard to create a stand alone mod.

Thanks for your time,
Tel
