Seems like I have a similar story to many. I used to play SC2 with a couple friends back when the game was new, we'd kill en entire weekend on Super Melee. I downloaded UQM a few years ago, and every six months or so I'd give it a go. I just played through the P6014 demo, and my god you guys have done an amazing job. The new ship is very, very neat, and I missed the good' ole Avatar.
I'm really looking forward to trying your next version, there can't a SC fan who won't be thrilled by this version!
