The one thing that sucks, already, about the freedom players have to customize their game is version control. I take several months away from the game with the Marines and after three weeks of playing once again, I still have no idea what is what.

I remember this problem from other games, like Unreal Tournament in the past. Every time one tried to join a game it took twenty minutes to sync up the proper "mods" to be compatible with the server. Granted, this is not identical to our situation (because plugins are optional whereas mods were not), but I feel the same agony in my veins even now.

I would urge plugin creators to do the following:
Limit new updates to significant changes
Try to combine your work with that of others so that plugins are less numerous
Make a guide as to where to find them and what they all do
Unify some way to advertize when new versons are released
Eliminate duplication of function asap

Thank you for your attention.
