the point of this idea really is to make something people can download and play, even without their own copy freespace, which is very hard to come by theese days. this makes it very difficult to grow the freespace community. if we replace all the original data with user created data the community would have essintially created a new game. the idea isnt nessisarily to copy every finest detail of the fs2 universe into a new package. i suggest compiling a list of all neccisary replacemend data. then people in the community may submit whatever data is needed to complete the list. someone may submit a ship model, others may submit weapon effects or missions. data would be reviewed to match certain criteria, such as stability, balence, asthetics, and completness. once all data is compiled, it would be edited to be cross compatable, assembled into a stand-alone package and be made avalible for download.
