I have not miss the upgrade part... planetory module will be the upgrade part... planet is the basic starbase, planet module will be option added to it...it will give the impression that the station grow with each new option... You will say that module cannot be in contact with the planetstarbase because the are in collision box and the engine don't allow it... it is where the particule effect is coming... it is particule effect who link the planet module to the planets

I used a trade beacon to draw them to one planet first, then just took over the planets surrounding the pirates and pinned them in, with heavily fortified planets, didn't even need to have a fleet to kill them in the end, hangers and turrets cleaned then up.

Flash and out-of-the-box Java implementations are also an issue: Most free Java runtimes don't work as good as the one from Sun - which is not included because of license issues and has to be manually installed. Same goes for stuff like video and audio codecs. The whole procedure of insalling mp3 support and the w32codecs is a pain. Getting DVDs to run has the same problems - yes, libdvdcss is awesome and makes DVDs play. But it doesn't
