Can I make a request? TradeWars 2002v3 had support for user defined alien 
races. IT SUPOSEDLY had support for an AI file also that would control the 
behavior of these races, but I never saw a file spec or any kind of util that 
would produce this AI file. I could not make races act the way I wanted them 
to. If you produce someething like that, PLEASE include the AI file maker so 
that we can actually control the aliens correctly? After all, there's so much 
StarTrek in tradewars that I just HAD to add the Borg! But the borg don't come 
aboard, take your cargo and some holds, and then leave you alone. They try to 
Assimiliate (Kill) you.
