Is it possible to create custom technologies by simply editing the technology section in alpha.txt? There are places that appear to be for user technologies. If this is possible, could you also make custom graphics, quotes, special abilities, and units?

Would it be possible to create new Chassis designs, new armor, new weapons, and new reactors as well?

Would this, if possbile, be possible to someone with no knowledge of programming?

Would firaxis consider giving "add-ons" or special mods for tech, secret projects, units, and whatnot so gameplay doesn't get old after a while? Because, even if it lasts a long time, a game without mods is destined for a permenant death.

Firaxis, could you release tools to help us modify the game?

Some semi-official mods could do wonders for multiplayer.

Remember what CTF and team fortress did for Quake/Quake II? That's what I want to see for SMAC, it should become a gaming legend. You can tell your grandchildren, "I remember when SMAC first came out, I was playing it on a Pentium II, and we had 56K modems."
