well the tech is there... the python engine I believe has just 
stabiliized...I've written two old missions in it and it has given me ZERO 
static :-)  much more calm than the other engine....

yes I think it would be very very cool :-) I just haven't had time to get a 
story together...I really need help (you?) to carry on a story...I'm going to 
write a python-Vega Strike Mission manual very soon (maybe tongiht or 
tomorrow)

yes it's very very simple actually :-)  cool!  then we can just stick this in 
vega strike without worrying about how to link it cus the tech to run scripts 
is there already.... that would be mega-cool :-)

yes :-)  I have some nice 2d images for this but I need more of course before 
I'll start adding them.... if you know any free websites iwth landscapes and 
interiors that can be used in GPL software;_0

ya writing missions would be excellent.....
privateer.py  (mission/exploration/explore_universe.py) is 100% working
cargo_mission.py is also somewhat working... not quite the pickle/unpickle 
sequence yet :-) and still needs a bit of touch up...
I added an objective reading to the cockpit  so you can have objectives :-) 
and it is clear what the user should do next :-) really important

anyhow hope you can help doing missions!!! :-) that would be great.... as I 
said I'll try to get the "Python vegastrike HOWTO " out ASAP
