I have to chime in here with an enthusiastic supportive "yes!"
My own background tells me that being a dev - for the most part - is a very thankless job, especially if you actually DO read the forums, which most people will assume you don't, since all dev decisions are of course idiotic, poorly informed, totally disconnected from the game, and done out of your ....you get the idea.
This mod is an outstanding, groundbreaking piece of work. In my own case, it still drives me crazy because I crash 3-4 times an hour (woe is me and then some!

) but I still keep coming back to it and I'm a slavering dog waiting for the next crash hotfix.
I play pod-based, large-simulator Battletech once or twice a week and I love it, and while this isn't the same thing, this is definitely a solid, nearly equally appreciable experience. Outstanding work, and I wish my background were less creative/correctional and more code/programmer, because I'd happily roll up my sleeves and dig in to help with this kind of effort.
Great work, outstanding job, keep it up. Much respect.
