Default New Game: Gritty Galaxy

A new pbw game using SJ's Gritty Economics Mod has opened. I hope to have a large number of players(15 max). 50 hour turns, low starting tech. Check it out.

Why is the game using an old version of the mod? PBW lists it as using 1.03 but the latest version available for download is 1.06...

We are using version 1.06. There's a small bug in pbw, the game type listing only had 1.03, not 1.06. I posted in the admin requests so it'll be fixed very soon.

I'd be interested in getting into a new game. Where can I find the mod, so I can check it out first?

It's not noted anywhere that shows up in the in-game description of the component, but if you check the data files you'll notice that Reactive Armor has a +300 weapon modifier. It should hit 99% of the time.

Bug report in Gritty: if you upgrade you ships the existing armor is changed to "bunker" armor, which is 20x as strong (ie: Bunker armor is 600 points compared to 30 for the armor it replaced). This is a game-unbalancing bug IMHO.

All such designs should be considered illegal.
I have been making a patch which should be posted to PBW soon.
