Nice, although the launch-bays look a bit too bright IMHO - a darker shade of red, like the inside of the Starfury's cockpit, might be better. Also, is that a new class of planet in the background or artistic flair for the loading screen? Check out the atmospheric haze layer. Keep up the good work. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

It's very easy to append the B5 names to the existing list of SoaSE planet names - that's how I'm currently testing the new names and it does work quite nicely. I compiled up a text file of names and then used a shell script to convert that to a Sins "StringInfo" list which can then be inserted into English.str. The only change to the script is the value of the starting index: 0 to replace, 297 to append (to the standard 296 Sins names) - see <a href="https://forum

TobiWahn, Darvroth, How up-to-date is the git repository with your recent fixes & developments? I've just downloaded the current version and found various problems. 1) Vorlons & Shadows still not playable as they start with no constructor ships nor shipyards. 2) Minbari 'Open Jumppoint' ability doesn't work as it depends on EA(?) 'Hyperspace Jump Engine' tech. 3) Sharoos warcruiser: 4th ability (name & de

Query regarding the Narn research tree:- Infocard for tier 3 tech 'Alien Trade' claims to unlock Orbital Tradeport - however it doesn't. Inforcard for Orbital Tradeport states that it require 'Credit Maker' tech - which is tier 8. Seems a bit harsh for the Narn that they can't setup a trade network until mid/late game.

If it hasn't changed (between 0.42 & 0.43) the Sharkaan itself requires a tier-7 tech which in turn requires lots of research in other trees, eg Civil War. There's not much left for the Minbari to research at tier 7, so the AI going after ability techs, hopefully, shouldn't be that much of an issue. It will be nice to have some more ships with support abilities. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Edit: Suggestion for Vorlon scout/envoy: re-use Seeker Ves

Unmoveable files are also going include parts of the registry, the page/swap file, and (for laptops) the hibernation file. The last two, pagefile.sys & hiberfil.sys, can be a several Gb in size as they're extending or backing up RAM. The more physical memory you have, the larger these files tend to be. As these files are always in exclusive use by the kernel, then no other user-mode process can defragment them. I would have thought that you should able

With the un-modded game, has anyone else noticed that you seem to get a lot less lag when you hold down the Alt key? As this displays a tactical info, I'd expect an increase in lag not a reduction - may indicate an optimization that could be made to the engine.
