[Q]

Yes I checked it twice that all files I have got from Spaceempires.net 0.3.0 patch replaced the original 0.3.0.
As I said version 0.2.1 loads without problems. I did not have yet the time to play a lot with it. Still getting to know the basic game.
From the few locks at the data files I can imagine how much work such a mod is and I appreciate your and your co-workers effort very much. The same is true for the other mods that are published. I think if starfury will getting more popular it is because of this work of it's fans. I would be lucky if I only created a new campaign for the stock game.
Take your time and good luck for your exams.
