You don't need any of the company info btw, just the name is going to be fine with pretty much everyone.

As for the rest of it, this isn't a good time. Probably sometime after Monday BT will call ACSS done, and pkk will put together a new installer. No point in submitting the current version.

Just hit me after the installer is done, I'll put it together if you want.


Want bigger games? Log on to play at the official game time: 9pmET/8pmCT/7pmMT/6pmPT every day of the week. Also Saturdays 8pm UTC.

Raum, this hasn't been forgotten.

Main problem on realizing this is TE, he has become a very busy person in the past months.

            <Char_Desc_2000>Allegiance is a free, online, multi-player space simulation game. You pilot spacecraft, flying in a team with other players, defending and attacking sectors in space. Your team is led by a Commander who makes tactical decisions and invests in technology and bases. Flight and combat is done in first person view in a 3D environment, with a real-time, top-down 'Command view' of your immediate surroundings also available.

While this sounds simple enough Allegiance is anything but an easy game to learn, even with its relatively basic control scheme and its simplified flight model. Allegiance is about tactics and coordination; knowing your ordnance and, most importantly, knowing where to be and what you should be doing there. Given the enormous amount of factors to reckon with, it takes the average player somewhere between 3 and 6 months to firmly grasp the basics.

On the plus side, Allegiance is full of interesting ways to turn spaceships into debris. Depending on the technology path your Commander has chosen you might fly stealthcraft, hiding and sniping at your unsuspecting enemies from far away. You might fly the interceptor, the king of short-range dogfights. Perhaps you might pilot a bomber, with other players manning the anti-fighter turrets on your ship. Or you could be the infinitely useful scout that spots enemy movements, repairs friendly vessels, and can even deploy minefields to devastate an enemy attack.

Allegiance is a great game to play because: 
It's free. 
It can run on pretty much any computer, on any connection speed (see system requirements). 
No other game out there offers as much diversity, nor is as teamwork orientated as Allegiance. No matter what role you choose to fulfill - whether it be dogfighter, scout, bomber, Commander, or something else entirely - your efforts will make a difference to the outcome of the game.</Char_Desc_2000>
