Well there is 1 music track to play all the time
and a few generic crappy sfx that do get boring.
I did try to tell neils that his sounds were
quite bad and crappy and suggested him to write
more, ambiences, different tracks etc etc.
However unfortunately we are stuck with what we have.
The sound engine he uses just does not support
that many sounds and to get another would cost more and require a recode.
I have asked him to at least impliment different
tracks but I think we are stuck with 1 music and
1 missile sound and several lasers of different pitches.
So from the sound point of view its prity crap
and boring so text is the way foreward.
I do hope maybe later on at some point this is
rectified but if its going to be to much trouble well.
I havn't managed to sit down and play for ages.

This looks great. Are there sound effects and/or
music or is it all text-based? How accessible is
the "compatible version for blind players?"

now have >25 attack strength and 25 health

boarding (damage is first done to the free

missile has an >impact time of 2 turns; when
