If you can't add 3D models yet, then why rush the mod out?

Why not just shelve the mod *temporarily* until the time comes when it's possible to add brand new 3-D models to the game and have a brand new ship with historically accurate capabilities? I understand that these are still cool mods as they are now, it just hit me while I was reading the info on one uploaded new ship mod that it's not actually the new ship, just a new name.
Don't get me wrong please....I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. These mods you guys do are awesome and help keep SUBSIM fresh and alive.....and not to mention DRASTICALLY improve gameplay!! (Any SH 3,4,5 players hearing that?? lol) Thanks guys.

***Does it look like new 3D models will be coming in the future, or is this particular game gonna be tough to add new 3D models to??***

Well, my biggest reason here is that while the devs are modder friendly, with the Unity engine, that day when we can finally add 3d models may never come.

Wow...that's unfortunate. I know most dev's are not likely to release too many secrets to the public, but being able to add new 3D modes, especially the quality yourself and the other modders here are capable of is a huge plus to the game. Then you add in the gameplay and graphics, sound, etc, mods to go with it and you have a whole new world of gameplay.

I hope things work out for you guys. I've been here a lot of years and the stuff I see you guys produce never stops amazing me. You and your mod brudda's and sisters are truly hero's with your work, and I'd like to say thank you for your time and effort you devote to this. Good luck in the future.

Is it possible the Devs may be interested in some kind of trade for services? You guys do the 3D stuff, the historically accurate specs, etc...they have the right to include your work in future releases of the game or something to that effect? I dunno, I get the feeling I'm really reaching here. For that matter would you as a modder be interested in some kind of trade like that? Would that hurt or possibly help you in any way? Just curious......thanks.

From what I've gathered talking to the devs, they want to release a few DLC first and not compete with their community. Then, at some point in the future, the game will be opened up to 3D modeling. Don't quote me on this, but that's the gist I got.
