I have previously made one custom version, but that causes issues if there is ever an update, as I must then hand-deliver all of the custom versions again. The same would be true if I made them modifiable, but even worse, as the way that my current update script works would allow that to be severely abused should some miscreant decide so to do. (I won't go into the exact reasons why!) Something I may do is provide a modifiable version - without update scripts - at the same time as the original. Thus one would have two possible versions to use, but would have to rez the original in order to check for updates. If so, I shall deliver that via the usual updating method.

Well-refined, detailed, and their peculiar flying system is really cool. I'd be glad to slightly resize the wings, would that be possible?

Gracious and powerful. At first I was a bit disappointed. They did not look like on the video at all, and first I crashed, then my client crashed. 5 minutes and a cup of coffee later I found out I was wearing the wrong set of dragonfly wings, an old freebie I completely forgot about.

Brava! Miss Malaprop, I had the opportunity to purchase a copy in-world last night, amongst the general grid malaise, and I am most happy with my experiences thus far.
