As far as different versions of the same ship, i guess someone should have put distinguishing marks on em right? My idea would be to have it set up to use whichever file containing the dupe was older. ie, in the case of dupe names, use the older file. This sets the stock tbl file as the standard, if you want to redo those ships go for it, just give em a new name or they won't be recognized. It's not hard to copy and paste then change the name, even with an X, MKII, Var A, or whatever to distinguish it form the original.

something like that is what i was thinking.

So instead of a mod picker we now have to go back and change the name of every single reskin or table edit? That's a lot of work considering you would also have to change the name in every single mission the modded ship appeared in (or else the original would be used) plus someone would have to keep track of which names were taken or two different mods could pick the same name.
Compared with having some for of mod picker doing that is actually a much harder task.

1) I don`t do source code I`m a FREDder and part time modeller.

2) Why do more work for a lower return?
