Well the Raiders in the last game at least gave one player a hard time, until the all powerful NarnRegime took care of them.... So a new game will start in a few weeks. Check out ->

Also, I am updating the mod, tidying it up, but also adding more new random events, another new ship type, 'armed transport' with built in boarding ability, more and bigger worldships. In addition, more reworked graphics, new components, bigger troops more Ion storms and nebulaes etc etc..
As usual the mod will be too big to upload here, so you will only be able to get it at se.net. Pop on other...
