Stardock, what's with the Ship and Objfxcfg zip files?

August 23, 2016 8:09 PM from

Sorry for the direct ask... but I'd really love to know why these new zip files exist in every folder where we have ship and object files. Essentially they are mirroring all the ship files and object files in their given folder. What for?

I ask because its becoming a real hindrance to modding. I can mod additional ships into pirate factions or the like, but now their files need to be in the correct folder AND in some seemingly duplicate zip file.

Its weird. Is this sticking around?

Well. If you answer, thanks a ton, huge fan of all your work.

I think it is probably a prelude to the Workshop DLC. (Pure guess tbh)

I would like to know their Purpose.

For example, perhaps they speed up multiplayer connectivity by providing smaller compressed files to verify between players? I'd love to know what the real answer is.
