I'm downloading it at between 5 and 8 k/sec. It's 75 megs. Ouch. But I'm downloading it. And soon I will have it. And soon I will not be heard from for weeks at a time. Oh, wait, not true. I'll have to play it downstairs on this iMac. My quadras are going to miss me...{ candyPunk }

There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.

Sorry, but I have to rub it in.I started download March 18, at 1:22AM. This was before Ambrosia officially posted it on thier servers. Download speeds were between 100-140k/sec. I finished download at 1:34AM. Hehehe... I'm already starting a small plug for Nova... ------------------

I wish there were some plug resources like in EV. I don't mean resources as in resource fork, I mean something along the lines of schmelta-v and the resource ID generator for ships/outfits. I assume that the old algorithms don't work as there are so many new aspects to things, like how planets can have so many special techs(it seems), there are used ships(those might be special tech, actually), and things happen when you land on planets or enter the outfitter or shipyard. I suppose those have a little more to do with missions, though. I think the creators of schmelta-v should make a Nova version. It might not be THAT hard to upgrade{ candyPunk }
