As a relative newbie, please explain the difference between Versions 2.1 and 1.7. And please tell me its more than 0.4.
Both have similarities, since they are both Pirates&Nomads games, but the major difference is that any P&N v1.? has the standard SE4 style propulsion.
P&N v2 uses a totally new propulsion system, wherein the engine requirements change depending on the mass of the ship.

ie. A destroyer (300kT) is twice the size/mass of an escort (150kT). In classic SE4, 6 ion engines move both ships at 6 speed. In P&N v2, the escort would have 6 movement, and the destroyer would have only 3. The number of engines on your ships is limited to 42 (rather than 6) in v2, since that is the point where RangeCheckErrors will occur.

v2 also includes BattleMoons (10MT mobile base), ion/tachyon/null-space mines, and other extras.
