Subj : Re: Re:Some of you will hate me but oh well ;p To : All From : Dr. Bad Date : Fri Jan 03 2003 08:58 pm Personally, I think it makes squat all difference, not releasing the .twa just makes it possible for you to have a mismatch between what's on the web and what's in the game and cop flack for that. Almost all the settings are on the web page. Most of the rest will be in * on the practice game, which any one interested is sure to visit, and anyone interested is also going to play the practice game long enough to check each ship/planet for the few features they might care about that aren't visible on the website.
