Works well on Ubuntu Gutsy. Sound stuttered, but I think I read that's a common and solvable problem?

MoO2 allowed you to either sabotage (ruin tech and if lucky destroy ship) or steal the entire ship. I know realism discussions are frowned upon, but I think that stealing technology should only be possible after an enemy ship has been captured. To properly understand new tech, and implement it yours...

Lastly, I found that the post-mortem resume of bzflag's (another OSS game) SoC was enlightening both from a student and especially from a mentor point of view. The pdf can be downloaded from http://my.bzflag.org/w/Google_Summer_of_Code Ten quick pages of reading, and contains comments about workload...

but tactics involve the use of a weapon. and boarding is a weapon that leads to a tactical advantage. one that not only eleminates an enemy ship but increases your own fleet. any Good tactician will use every weapon available to to him to make his battle plans.

The entire distro is built on an open linux stack, so all that would be needed is a simple port and a total r...

I discovered your awesome project the night before SoC was announced, and had even thought of joining you as a part of it. Imagine my surprise when the next...

I've long been thinking about starting a project like this, and was very surprised to find you all! This is all I could ever have imagined it to be, the progresse you've made impresses me greatly. Let me introduce myself: I'm a very active computer science student at the Institute of Technology of L...
