skins mod''s and more

hi
i have a question. is it possible if you use another skin on your ship that the others playing in a mp game can see it? or if a server uses a mod that you can see it and use it or another map for that matter?
aalot of other games dont have that like renegade and battlefield 1942 is it the same in freelancer?

Yeah, are server's THAT out of the loop that they can't even enforce one mod?

I really hate the concept of mods for Freelancer bacause there's no way to guarantee everyone is seeing the same thing. I get the impression that any of the significant mods are all client-side. This takes away from the "shared experience" because nobody has any idea what the other person is using. Players can be unmodded, or use an older version of the mod, and see different things.

Isn't there any way for a server to enforce, say, the excellent looking Star Wars mods? Certainly would be nice if you were flying around a Slave 1 and people didn't say "hey, nice Clyesdale!". Until they can figure that one out, the mods are hardly worth my time, and they will never catch on all-around.
