Thanks to your signature I found this thread, and thanks to that... I found Stellar Frontier! So thanks

You got me curious about the game and it seems amazing, I'm downloading it right now. It just might fill the void left when I finished Escape Velocity Nova. And the most interesting is that, just like freespace, it is an old game that went open source and the communnity can now improve! Wouldn't it be great if it could evolve as much as freespace did since it became open-source?? *John Lennon's "Imagine" in the background*
Good luck with your project
