Since this looks like I might have to update it every time a new faction with a new homeworld is added to the game, I think I will go ahead and make this a "proper" mod. All I really have to do is add a README and a version history, I think. I'll go ahead and start a dedicated thread for this in the modding section when I do. Probably some time over the weekend.
So by "next weekend" I CLEARLY meant to say "It'll slip my mind and I'll only release it as a 'proper mod' when I'm forced to several months later".
<pause>
OOPS.
Anyway, I've now started a thread in the mod forum where one can find this mod as an actual mod with a README (such as it is). And I'll be issuing all further updates in that thread and not this one.
