Will Parsec be user configurable and support the import or creation of new skins/ ships/ weapons/ mods?
Yes. Parsec will be highly configurable. You will be able to import your own ships, change textures, sounds, other data, etc. The entire Parsec source will be available from May 2003 on, and thus allow all kinds of extensions imaginable. The Parsec SDK that was planned previously will not be released as such, since it will be superseded by the full source release.
