Enjoy!

Wow, George, looks grand!
I just got done reading what you put up about the modding expansions, looks like a load of fun and a lot to learn!
I had a small issue downloading, had to try several times to get a clean zip, not sure why but now I got it. Yay!
I suppose I will have a massive load of questions for you in the weeks to come, but the first one would have to be:
What is this: (sysAddStargateTopology) ??! Is it adding a gate to a system from script? (no, I think (sysCreateGate) might do that...) Are my days of weaving intricate static networks (finally) over?
Edit... dang.. download again?
Oh..

Fixed a crash when a multi-shot weapon uses a fire effect.
Fixed a bug with more than two <Fragment> elements in a weapon.
<EffectType> definitions are now supported in extensions.
This is very very good !

I already have many ideas on how to use those...
The <Devices> element for a ShipClass now accepts random configurations such as <Table>
All item cursors are gone; instead, all function take and return full item structures.
(objEnumItems) now iterates over item structures, not item cursors
Thanks Thanks George !
(sysCreateStation) now creates satellites too
Cool!

Wow what an update! I haven't had a chance to play it much yet, but even the first system looks vastly different. Missions everywhere! Lots of new little stations! Chock full of extra flavor and atmosphere!

I was really surprised at the strength of that Centauri Warlord - killed me in my first game in a couple of hits.
Second game, I got to St. K's and picked up a omni thermo cannon, traveled back and killed him pretty quick

he has laser and kinetic armor and that is what I normally have in the first system so I just lead him to friendly ships that could destroy him. (he is very slow)
