Hi JB,

Good news!  Pete and I are back working on SuperNova: Rise of the Empire.  We
resumed a couple of weeks ago and are making slow progress, due to the other
demands on our time.  We've gone back to the basics in some ways by trying to
bring all that was good in SuperNova II into the new design.  Part of our
problem was trying to "reinvent the wheel".  We've also changed programming
languages and expect that to be a big help. I have not resumed the playtest
group at this point but I'm answering questions both here and privately so drop
me a line when you can.
