Nice. The Mod manager image looks odd, though. The box is hard to see.

I tried to get the game working, and used the splash image from startup.

Blade, what Fleet Operations files do you have to keep in order to get this mod to work?

Interface Components?
ODF Files?

I tried only stock A2 components and ODFs and the game crashed instantly.

You mean they're always all available? FO seems to be set to 'give all missions' by default.

It's been a time since I messed with that setting, but IIRC you can't re-lock them once they have been unlocked. Might be something the devs need to look into.

This mod will import all of the stock A2 stuff into Fleet Operations.  There will not be any modifications to any files other than what's necessary to get the mod to work.  After I get it working though, I will start a new mod based on this one that balances the mod out.

Wait....isn't this mod already out and in continuous development?!  I think its called.....um.....FLEET OPERATIONS!  jk.  May I ask what is different about your mod?  Because FO has basically taken the files from A2, messed around with the engine as much as possible and managed to keep them working.  They also made the game feel more canon (i.e. Borg don't have shields, etc), and have been continually balancing it.  I'm really curious to know what you plan on doing differently?
