Well, I am very new to this mod, and absolutely loving the matches I have played so far 
My vote would be for regular releases. I have followed a mod for C&C Generals Zero Hour for well over a year now. At first, I would visit their Forums everyday, contributing. As they have not had any new release / update for well over 9 months now, I have gradually visited less and less, and I have noticed that there are less and less posts on the forums 
It's not that I am unloyal - just very disappointed that there does not appear to be any new development.
I think regular releases keep interest high. Also, what about getting info / interviews in gaming magazines around the world? Great publicity.
Another place to advertise / promote MOD would be CrosuS Mod Manager http://www.isotx.com/index.php?view=4045.

I play on a Special Forces server all the time because of two reasons. One is the map (Warlord) and two is the fact they turn off all friendly fire. Yes I know not realistic, but a hell of a lot of fun.
Agree strongly with this - friendly fire on means you end up with a horrendous minus score, and for new comers, may put them off of mod as being unplayable.

When ships form up and cooperate, things get really, really intense really fast. I try to give hints and orders like 'keep the ships together' and such when playing, as I know it makes the game better for everyone when teamwork is used.
Very much with you on this one - one of the BF's series greatest assets is TEAMWORK, playing in a squad makes a far more enjoyable game, and this is especially true in space combat.

That way, everyone who boots up 2142 will see it, and hopefully a download link is included as well.
You guys just went to DICE, and they didn't think to do this small favor for you?
I think that's up to EA, not DICE. Unfortunately, EA is not so friendly.
EA are all about making money, therefore if you can throw them the angle of "mod makes product more appealling = more sales = more money" they may go for it.
Closed Alpha Test & Deth..
