While I'd love to see these modding improvements, I'm afraid they're out of our reach. The devs have stated a few times before that because their games run in the unity engine, they can not simply give us the ability to add new assets to the game.

I have two comments to this insight.



First, it's obviously possible to add assets - in the form of ship models. In that sense it would be fully sufficient to hand out a more detailed documentation on the format of prefebs (and their paths!) to gain access to other stuff. As for weapon effects it would already be great to have more variety. It would be ideal, but not strictly neccesarry to be able to add new ones ourselves.
