Awesome work as usual OP! Definitely looking forward to more information as it comes about this. This could finally be a true successor to Freelancer yet. Why not just call it Galaxylancer?

My CAD skills allows me to do solid modeling of just about anything and I know you guys can always use more modelers. Regardless, if you guys advertise you're hiring in the right places and to the right people with this new open-source FL based space sim engine... "If you build it, they will come." MO…
