cannot understand why this died out.

if i gotta be honest, its not at all a good mod. the playability is there but boring, the visuals are okay, the concepts are good but theres so many planets that try to be extremely unique that it becomes boring almost instantly.  the system is a mess: i just slapped some planets together and called it a mod.

play final dawn instead, its actually challenging and it looks much much better and is the result of careful modding.
