So, has the data been saved yet

No not yet. After checking with a few places Online and by phone, it is likely to cost much more than I thought! If it had been a case of a few bad sectors it wouldn't be so bad and I could do it myself, but it's a serious problem. I'll hang onto the drive regardless and hope to find someone that can help me out.

Rather than spend big $'s on only a chance of recovering the data, I'm putting it into a new computer since my one is over 4 years old and it's time to say goodbye. I've pretty much decided on what I want and I hope to receive it and be up and running by late next week. By then I should also decide what I'm going to do about the future of the mod. If I decide against starting over then I'll certainly make some smaller sized contributions towards Space Empires in terms of ship sets and planets, and help set up the new ladder, not to mention - work on some stuff for the release of Starfury.

Thanks again for the offers to send money, but I'd really prefer if you saved it for yourself or even made a donation to PBW.

Although I've lost close to everything from my graphics, mods, saved games, school files, to my first programs - I feel strange about it now. While I really miss all the stuff I had, I also look forward to getting a fresh start, while being more responsible, wasting less time, and doing something new and original.
