No, that would be the correct HoTa that you remember - I myself was never on crossfire though and i am familiar with the story which is neither here nor there really, we believe in the fight and thats what keeps the game going.
anyhow, does this mean your drawing the line under the 1.8 version as the final? to be honest sur's should be the work of either the original modeler or a specialist in SUR creation, i wouldn't feel inclined to polish someone else's work
Do let me know if you are considering a 1.9 as apart from modeling ships etc, i have had many cool ideas.
