Probe is, funnily enough, design: "Probe". There's no decoy subsystem from what I can see, but you can make one yourself, I'm sure.

I'm still planning on writing a web app which will catalogue all this stuff. I recommend people bug me until I do it

You have design: "Flight Deck" in your flightdeck: section?

<r> Let's see, we have fusion reactors, drive systems, massive shield arrays, huge energy weapons; GW's of energy being pushed around, thrown at things, etc.<br/>
<br/>
Now, assuming these systems aren't 100% effecient (which would seem rather unlikely), our starships are going to have an awful ...

<r> Lord QDaan: Good news servers go up to 180 days in text groups, 35 I think is the max for most binaries. Most people who commonly download from Usenet have access to at least a moderately good server, which usually go up to a week or two. In my experience, that's better than most torrents <E ...

7-Zip Ultra got it down to 209MB, with SFX. 3D Gamers or so might be a good idea

<r> Usenet post starting. I repacked to 15MB RAR, reducing the size of the release to just 245MB (2.77MB parts are really too small for a post of this size on Usenet, sorry guys).<br/>
<br/>
The files are going up to news.usenetserver.com right now, and should be there in about 5 hours. You can ...

<r> Bah, WinACE. If you're going to use some random format to get a few more percent, <LINK link="http://www.7-zip.org/"><s>[link=http://www.7-zip.org/]</s>7-Zip<e>[/link]</e></LINK> is a good choice.. but nm, WinRar can extract too; something WinACE's self-extractor seems unable to manage.<br ...

They're hidden in the editor, but you can still use them.

Try making a custom mission with any old ships, loading Mods\Missions\$whichever.def into a text editor and setting the design of a unit to "ZZD". ZZA is the Zolon attack craft, and ZZF is the fighter.

<r> Posting it to Usenet would be a good move too; provide a <LINK link="http://docs.newzbin.com/WhatIsAnNZBFile"><s>[link=http://docs.newzbin.com/WhatIsAnNZBFile]</s>NZB<e>[/link]</e></LINK> and peeps with access to a half-decent news server can just load it into their client and download as fast ...

BitTorrent would be a good idea for the initial release. Want me to see about running a tracker?

Meh, on Sandra, king of the unreliable benchmark. Also comparing a dual channel system with a single channel one; let's see a comparison with an S939 AMD64 3500+ running 200Mhz "slower" than this 3400+

Right, because the P4 is good at running code that fits in it's cache; it's very deep pipeline, high cost of stalls and the slower system memory are less of an issue when ...

Use code tags for things like that:

You miss the point; you can use a one time pad and it'd be just as insecure as 128 bit ...

<r> I'm surprised milo's annoyed or even surprised by this tbh; the format's trivially simple, and has nothing to do with any sort of copy protection that I can see. It's just to make the game more space effecient and make mod management easier. Nobody should be under any illusion that it provides ...

Very well; the files have been removed.

<r> It's a dead simple format; I worked it out with a couple of hours fiddling with less than 100 lines of Ruby total -- it took me longer than that to work out a simple tar reader, and I have the specs for that [:)]<br/>
