Great!  I need to get some sleep first but I'll commit when I wake up tomorrow (something like 3 and half hours from now :)).

One other thing... this may have been in other builds too, and I just haven't been able to test them to notice this, but has someone improved the thuster effects?  I didn't see any clipping (though I only viewed 1 capital ship, a medical frigate) around the thrusters.  Either way... this is good.

Umm, not sure.  I know that there has been some work on thruster related stuff but I haven't kept track of it all.  I think that Bobboau added something related to this but I'm not really sure what it was.

 
BTW: That feature, the alternative interface...is...wow. utterly incredible. I mean, I never saw this coming. I see things I've always wanted in FreeSpace 2 but never thought possible...they're now most likely possible. A Window based GUI for FreeSpace 2 mainly a la Unreal Tournament and Microsoft Flight Simulator, and of course most leading operating systems. Making the ESC key in mission bring up overlay menus featuring ALL features of the main hall, that way you don't have to exit your mission in progress to view the tech room, choose a different mission, change flags, etc. And last but not least I now dream of the ability to rearrange and resize HUD items, target ships, drag my throttle indicator to set speed, select weapons, etc. with my MOUSE, while I'm flying the ship with my joystick...

...I can dream *drools*

To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta
