As Stallion says, Akella strongly suggested to us from the first e-mail that they espect us to migrate to CoAS. In other words they want do exactly the same way they did with ALexusB & company A&M mod, namely, make it addon that Akella would sell. When I started modding for PotC I understood that I want make it the way Build mod was: a modpack which can be downloaded from Internet and installed free of any charges. That's why I'd resign from Engine 2.8 for 2.0 version (we shouldn't lie to ourselves, the only thing visible from outside which was improved in those newer versions was graphics and that one ship model could use up to three different textures - in AoP that feature was used to add unrealistic extenal plating of the hull); such update isn't worth the price. Besides, when migrating we would need to drop everything we made in Build for all those years, which also is a bad thing.
