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*
