The "next logical step": How about the correct display of the landers gauge, when the landermod is activated, or did you already fix that?
(I'm using the version "UQM-HD-MM-master.zip" you compiled on your laptop and didn't install the latest one from Sourceforge or your website so far. By the way, it's still called "uqm-0.7.1-HD-MegaMod.zip", while my startscreen shows "v0.7.2".)
One more idea for the Lander, if you don't mind: 
When the lander is destroyed, why lose all the harvested minerals then? Seems to me not very logical.
They could be scattered around it, so the next lander can pick them up again. Additionally there could been generated some units of base metal at the current position, representing the remaining wreckage.
(Normally I save the game prior to the disembarkment on dangerous planets, so this feature won't be very important. But maybe nice to have.)

Ouch, that wasn't a good idea! And which cargo bug do you mean? I didn't notice any so far, except the gauge display.
With your last "fix" the capacity of the lander cargo is unlimited, and exceeding the capacity of the flagship's cargo hold will cause a new bug, see the picture:
EDIT: The flagships's cargo capacity seems to be unlimited too, in this example I've installed 2 storage bays (1000 units), but actually there are loaded 2056 units of minerals.
EDIT2: To get through the test fast, I activated the landermods, godmode, and headstart, started a new game and travelled instantaneously to Beta Centauri, where you can find plenty of minerals.
Somewhat later I noticed another bug in conjunction with "headstart":
There you have 2 storage bays and 1000 radioactives aboard right from start, but the statistic for the cargo shows "Free 1000". Normally there should be nothing free anymore.
To find planets with lots of minerals, you may download the Database and Worklist for MS-Excel from my Dropbox account.
In the table "StarSystems" you'll find all data about every planet and moon of SC's galaxy.

Hmm. So not the fix I was hoping for. The graphical glitch may have to stay then.
1. The Flagship's cargo bays have been doubled as well in landerMods.
2. If you have landerMods and headStart on that's what happens.
The Storage Bays automagically compensate, but the Lander's cargo bays do not.
landerMods increases cargo storage 2x for the Storage Bays and the Lander's cargo bays.
On a side note; Bio-Units are stored outside the Storage Bays in either case and are not affected by any mods.
I'll keep looking for a fix to the graphical glitch.

1 + 2: Good, I didn't know that concerning the flagship's storage bay capacity, because you don't mention it in the CheatList.txt.
The graphical glitch isn't severe and doesn't have any negative effects to the gameplay, so take your time, it's not urgent to fix that.

When the Spathi build their slave shield and disappear, their ships won't only vanish from the shipyard, but from the flagship too, sadly. That's bad, very bad. I like Fwiffo and don't want to lose him! Could you please reset this to the original state, so that the Eluders on board won't abscond?
When I tested the god mode I noticed another little issue, but not severe:
There the Arilou Skiffs can be destroyed by Ur-Quan fighters. Perhaps by the Orz space marines too, but I didn' test that.
And again a new request, also concerning the god mode:
IMHO the Pkunk Fury may die in the fight, but will resurrect with a probability of 100% in this case. Then you can see the interesting-looking rebirth in god mode too.

HAH! I forgot I did that. That was for testing purposes since I have a save from right before they scuttle off into their hidey hole.
Is it just the Skiffs? I can't imagine that there would be code to allow that to happen.
If I can make it biased so only the player controlling the Fury resurrects 100% then I will.
I like clean "getaways" like that happy accident with the lander shields.
EDIT:
By the way, I forgot to mention that God Mode only works when player one is fighting a computer controlled opponent.
So you can't cheat in Super Melee. This mod is safe to use for network melee.
EDIT:
Just tested the Skiff thing and I am not able to replicate it. Let the Ur-Quan have at it for 2 minutes and not one crew was lost. Although it seems the Orz marines can bypass God mode entirely for every ship.
EDIT:
I added in the ability for the Fury to never not resurrect after destruction, but the only way to test it is with the Orz.
Since the marines are the only thing in God Mode that can do any damage.
For the moment I can't wrap my brain around making it so only player controlled Orz marines cause damage.
Might end up making a new spot for it.

Heh, guaranteed resurrection for Furies? God, I'd be de-rostering the ship down to its captain before the fight. Why send crew to die if you get a full complement if the captain dies?

And I forgot to mention that I noticed the Skiff thing in the story and not in Super Melee. I don't like melee very much (only for training against computer controlled ships) and didn't test it there. With the ships I've had aboard, it happend only with the Skiffs, yes. Furies, Eluders, Terminators and Juggers didn't lose any crew in god mode and hadn't been destroyed so far. I'm using HD 4x only, but I think that doesn't matter in this case. Could there be a difference between the normal gameplay (storyline) and melee? By the way, suddenly it comes to my mind that in god mode the "Syreen Call" of the Penetrators also could have the same effect at the crews as the marines and fighters. Just a hint.
I simply can not replicate this on my end. I took a Skiff to Vela and fought the Kzer-Za sitting there and did not lose any crew. HD 4x even.
Yes, the Syreen song bypasses God mode as well. Though the good news about that is they can't lure the ship captain out. So you can't be destroyed, in theory, by the Syreen.
Even if they could turn against you in the main game I'm not going to worry about it until I can figure out the Orz marines.
EDIT:
Test it with the fresh binaries I made on Github. Those builds also revert Spathi runaway ship, and adds 100% Fury resurrection in God mode.
