Yep, yet again, I've managed to scare away a player.
Actually, he withdrew due to computer crash problems. (As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken he ended up just chuckin' the derelect rig into a dumpster!). But that leaves an empty slot for one lucky sole to take over.
The Y'dath are in an excellent position, probably in the top 5 empires. They are very closely allied with an equally strong empire, and that alliance stands in a position to dominate the game. So sign up and show the mod creator who's boss! On second thought, that might not be the best coarse of action...
