I have not heard anything about OPC since I dropped out of the group
on Compuserve and the letter from OPC came out.  What I heard on
Compuserve was that there was a legal and financial rift between
OPC and the co. that was doing development, and that the accusations
were flying and heating up.  At that time they were making noises about
an end of this year startup again, but I have not heard anything else.

ABM's Beyond Stellar Empire is a game of similar complexity, but
when I left the open ended sf game section on Compuserve, there was
talk of a player boycott because fo GM intervention and similar
slinging of the wet earth.

New Dawn may be another Space Opera game, but I don't know anything
about it yet, maybe we can convince Dan to give us a quick rundown on it.

There is a new game called Perseus Arm or something similar that
I heard some vague talk about being a space opera, but I do not have
any more to go on there.
