Maybe that should be a key part of all this. The recipient gets to keep whatever mods are made. That should reduce the incentive for a team to get cheesecaked primarily for the benefit of another team (especially if it's an expensive add-on), and encourage mods that help the recipient perform better on their own merit so they can positively contribute to the alliance.
