Yes, why?   There are work-arounds on a campaign.

Maverick and I are building a mod of our own, just for fun.

What sort of work-arounds do you speak of?

You have to fudge the FYAs in the shiplist and the Server year.   Medium drones come out year 5, fast year 17.  If you set the server staring year from 2263 to say 2268 and adjust the FYAs by 5 years medium drones will come out in 2273, as it's still year 5.

I'll go over this with you on TS, a little tricky to wrap you head around.

But If I wanted to start a server in say 2260, there's no way to keep the medium drones coming out at 2273, right?

Nope, they come out at year 5 no matter what.   That's the constant.  Starting year is 2260 medium drones will be out in 2265.

But they're now customizable. Only took a few minutes with IDA to crack this. Better late than never.

Good job Tar!  :)
Any future sfcop 2564 release, will surely need an update with the latest tweaks you found.
