Galaxy? (News from Brest)

Here is the answer to your question. In Empire, it was decided to do everything according to
Galaxy formulas, when developing the Galaxy client it will be easier...

So far, only two people have written to me who are interested in
the Galaxy client on Speccy.

Oh, well, this is not in real time, it can be done with a manual calculator - in parallel
on IM2 put up a screensaver like “a computer designs a ship” or
set all these powers, roots and logarithms with signs...

Sincerely, Dmitriy.

Not much :( Is it really possible that no one else will want to join a multiplayer
and interesting game? Or is it because doesn't it exist yet?

Ship Calculator has already been written, and if someone wants to play Galaxy
with Speccy without a client, You can try to persuade Cyberex to release
it as a separate program.

Because this is the first time people are hearing about it ;)

At the moment I have received about 6 letters, the interest is very
low, so we will limit ourselves to the Empire for now.
