I've been perusing through the source since it came out. It's been a few years since I've done anything in C++, but of the three major issues mentioned in this thread, I think it's safe to say that modification of the jump node system wouldn't be that hard. Maybe 40 man-hours, all said. Beam weapons on ships, that may be a little trickier. Haven't looked at it very much, but I imagine that there would be a few obstacles. As for the physics, I've been reading through it, and I, for one, am impressed with the elegance of their code. Not a walk in the park, but nowhere near as overwhelming as I'd thought it would be. But unless someone here wants another full-time job... there's a reason programmers make good money...

if i could have only one thing changed for this mod, it would be that jump points work properly, ex. you use a gate or a capital ship's jumppoint

I think the most important modification would be a patch to allow further modifications to take the shape of add-in dll files or similar. That way everyone wouldn't have to recompile the source each time someone makes a new mod.

Heres a good one, the ability to have several ships jump in/out with the same jumppoint. Also have that little ball of energy that goes back to form the jumppoint.
