Got it!!
The method i explained above did NOT work!! But something occurred to me while looking at the touchup on another file. And it is very straightforward, and very simple.
And i am very very happy!!! 
I hope this QuickMatch Mini-Mod isn't too much like your DomeMod Justin, im not very much for online play, im not very good at it. But i thought it might be interesting to have a timed single player game i could use without having to make custom maps for it. And this does it.
I am still working on other parts of it, i want to create some abilities for launching frigates from the caps, and those frigates to launch support frigates as well, so you can get capitalships and when in battle they will launch their frigates, until you have a mini-fleet when you meet the enemy!
This mini isn't as well done as yours, nor is it as ambitious, it doesnt do too much except allow lower cost access and mini-fleets and timed games. But i hope you will try it and let me know. I still have a few more days to finish the abilities to launch the frigates, but the hard part, the "Timed" thingy is done. Boy oh boy was i sweating with that, haha, i thought maybe i was barking up the wrong tree. I would have thought it couldnt be done, except you already did. Then i thought, well, maybe it cant be done by me! Haha, well.... that never helps when i'm trying to do something!! 
Anyway, give me a few days and i will post it. Like i said its only a little mini-mod, not terribly sophisticated, but i thought it would be fun to do, and play, haha, i have as much fun poking around the files as i do playing. 
Take care and have a good night, work tomorrow, so to bed for me now. Adios and Happy Modding!!!
