- Nope. It looks as though it's off. U of Michigan's archives still have it
- though. This promises to be an INCREDIBLY deep game -- lots of star
- systems, each with many planets, each with some moons, each with terrain.
- Lots of ships, each with various shield, computer, weapon, drive, and
- computer technology. Lots of races, each with different attributes,
- including preferred atmosphere, preferred temperature and survivable
- range, curiosity, aggression, etc.
-
- I've got mine on order, and if all goes according to plan, it will be in
- my hands by Wednesday. You know what I'll be doing over Thanksgiving! ;-)
