gonna wait for a few BDB hotfixes, which I'm totally certain will follow, now that the public can access and experience bugs instead of us dev version users, before I make the jump to 1.10.1.

Really nice job guys, the increase in quality is noticeable in both the parts, and should I mention, the doubling of the filesize from bdb 1.6.x to now XD

Not yet, I havent had time to get to it. If anyone wants to submit configs that would be much appreciated.

I submited one on GitHub.

I dont mean a sample config :P A pull request covering various BDB parts is what would be needed. Otherwise i'll get to it when I have some free time.

Well. I don't that stuff because I don't know much about coding and modding. I just found that sample cfg.

BDB started way back in the day so Cobalt could make some stuff Beale didnt want to make, the specific US space program focus came a little bit later. Those partial Russian probe bits were some of the oldest surviving parts in BDB :)
