[Fusek]

As I understand it, HSFX is geared more for SEOW, while UP is geared towards general online play.

I'm not trying to pick you out in particular Fusek, but this comment is one I've seen many times and really dont get. I thought the "O" in SEOW stood for "Online".

Well, isn't flying a Online War COOP very different to flying in a DF server? I've never actually flown in a Online War, but I imagine it is.

And about the manual mod installion, I prefer it as well for my offline install. But it just doesn't work online, with all kinds of problems when you have conflicting or outdated versions of a mod.
