I just registered to say: thank you for version 0.85! It's given me a couple of hours of great fun already.

Gosh, isn't Esmerelda annoying though? ... Just makes it more satisfying when you catch her!

Keep up the great work, and looking forward to 0.90!

Cool!
I've amended the Mod List thread to point to this latest version.
Would this work with the Mac (pre-ravian release), or does it use anything from the last windows update?
I'll go ahead and try it anyway. Any probs and I'll report back ;-)

Hey Phlagh, great work on the mod. Loads of fun! One quick fix you may want to implement - the Zorg cargo freighter has too many cargo points. The game doesn't seem to be able to handle 6 rows of cargo space - I think there is a hardcap at 5 rows, so as soon as you manage to place anything in the 6th row the game crashes. Reducing the space to 5 rows should fix it.

[Phlagm]

Oh good catch! Thanks. Wow, how the hell did you manage to get that many items? I don't know that I ever have been able to. I guess that's proof that not only will it crash the game, but that extra row probably isn't needed anyway.

Once I'm done with finals, I'm planning to produce another patch (maybe 1.0). I just finished whipping up a Garthan Frigate in my very little spare time, and can't wait to stick it in.

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your mod very much, and it breathed a great deal of fun and enjoyment back into the game. Thanks!

hey there!

fantastic mod! i noticed a text overrun or two also, will keep my notepad handy.

Gotta hand it to you: happiness is [/i]not[/i] a warm particle vortex cannon, but rather a warm Hydra Missile Battery (or, two if i've found the timeless bauble, plus a cloaking device, if i'm lucky).

What fun!

Thanks! I can use all the help I can get. I always liked that the Hydra was just mediocre unless the enemy has point defense. Then the missile is wildly counterintuitive...for them.

Does EWW require the WW patches or something? It always crashes to desktop when I hit the "Start" button when I select this mod.

[Phlagm]

Yeah, you need the latest patch.
