Look at what happened in Spore.
Players created things... and they looked very similar to... Arrange these items and you get the picture: D === B

Unfortunately due to the architecture of the game, I see no viable part of the OP that could work.

Not to mention the Cobra engine just isn't built that way. It's so easy to write up fantasies though.

Of the MMOs mentioned they typically allow client-side GUI modding. That doesn't affect other players, and problems limit themselves to the individual clients. I don't know if EDH/EDO was written with that in mind (I suspect not).

But what players could do is to submit mods to Fdev for review.
If approved, it gets added to the game. DLC or just content update.

FDev have proved themselves completely incapable of testing the software that THEY write. What on earth makes you think they'd be capable of testing someone else's?

I was thinking something like the GECK for Fallout series. A mod building tool by the Devs for the players, to create content for everyone.
So it's modular and people can work with it, not inventing things from scratch.
