I can send the saved game to people if they are interested in trying it out. I do think it will be a fun game.

Yea, that's my plan.

Now that's an interesting piece of information. I'll have to see if that's true. Thanks for the tip!

Damaging warp points do indeed always have a blackhole on one side of them. You can even see a warning of this if you select the warp point.

Also, they do not always damage all ships and shields offer no protection only armor.

KiloOhm, I'd like to try that savegame. If you have made any changes to your datafiles please include them as well so it's playable. Send it to jubala76@hotmail.nospam.com (remove .nospam) please.

I second dmm's opinion that you will find it a more interesting game. My Halogen game has been riveting, even if I am mostly getting my butt kicked.
