So my comet has once again flown through this sector of space and I'm just checking in to see how everyone's doing.

What's up since I've visited last?

Looking at the post dates, you eithe visited last in 2011, or were a presence on teh forums back in 2009. I don't recall you being here, but I haven't been active all that much.

Well, hmm. There's lots of interesting stuff in the highlights board, i'd recommend going there, but here's some cherry picking:

FS_OPEN 3.7 was released, with it's fully working new pilot code!
Blue Planet, a big post-capella mod, is breaking tradition by actually doing some regular releases.
Wings of Dawn, a total conversion made by one man, is quite awesome.
Wing Commander Saga has been released
Diaspora (a BSG TC) has also been released.
Batutta has kidnapped a member of the Violition crew and interrogated him.

And a bunch of other stuff. The last two years saw a lot of high profile releases.

Holy ghosts Batman!

Long time no see. The place hasn't changed much, people still argue over things they have no influence over, Religion and Politics still create vast swirling maws of accusation and denial, and Terrans are still boxy
