We seem to have 2 main factions, those who want only points out of race wizard, and those who want both instaforming and OA ships adjusted, an option is a compromise where each faction gets something.

I'd say if you can't get fairly broad agreement on any changes (this doesn't need to be an agreement that they are the _best_ changes, just that they are better than the current version), then it's not a good idea to try and change it. When the Jeffs changed something, they were doing it from a position of authority, and everyone followed. A patch from someone else that doesn't have wide backing will either fail to be used, or split the player base.

Someone also needs to check that the versioning stuff can be done cleanly (i.e that if someone tries to open a race or game with the wrong version of Stars!, sensible error messages are returned), or there's no point trying to do an unoffical patch in the first place.
