Well you wouldn't be buying it, rather just ordering it and paying the costs of production and shipping.
The CD would have only mods and ship sets, no SEIV game data at all. Just mods and ships. You know, the free stuff that you can download from the internet.

Doesn't major sites like C|Net, Gamespot, and GameSpy offer this service? Where you can go Online, pick and choose the mods, programs, files, and demos you want and then download or buy them on a custom CD?
I'm sure a similar service could be offered as long as the copyrighted and questionable materials weren't on the CD and each and every author consented and is credited.
I'd like it for sure, my 33.6 clunker modem (my 56K melted Last summer) can barely email all the documents I need to send and file each day, let alone download all the mods I play in the off hours.
