I find mods getting ranked downed simply because not having in particular one simple game mechanic absolutely hilarious and funny. On the contrary, overusage of the same material brought over nothing in regards to the creativity and original projects, one would rather have more unique features than integrating what is being done before over a hundred times and definitely not by his hands. Quality is not so easily provided with shortcuts from every corner.
Besides, Freelancer is an uncompleted project. Yes, the pack allows you to do roleplay from such a clever aspect of gameplay, yet it does nothing in regards to complete the experience and bind it to the game we already know. No idea how one can fool himself thinking he experiences something unique while it is only appeal to the eye and nothing more than an illusion. (No offence to any sides, just making my point.)
