Wasn't their fault it didn't get published. I know why, but I don't want to be spitefull.

I think I used to play Stars. Wasn't that the one you "flung packets" in? Or something?

Yes, I loved those mass drivers... especially when I used them for bombardment of enemy planets when I had too many minerals on my hands!

Perhaps with SE5's scripting engine we could fit mass drivers into the intel system... "Our planet Feznik V has been hit by something which was initially considered a rogue asteroid, killing 65M people and destroying 2 facilities, but upon further analysis seems to have come from the vicinity of the Tudran system." Then to fire these mass packets, you'd need a mass driver component installed in a system...

Of course, had Feznik had a mass driver facility or station in the first place, you would have caught the packet and been a little richer. That'll teach those Feznikians to be proactive!

I seriously miss Stars! Been too long since I played the demo (Never could find the full version anywhere, and now I can't even find a copy of the shareware....) Oh well!
