Well, I feel almost silly / sheepish telling anybody my name (although I don't actively hide it), for personal reasons. I guess I'm barely / vaguely paranoid. And it's a generic name, too! So why am I worried? ;-)

EDIT: But BTW, it just looks really silly to me to see everyone else's true name and my silly nick in quotes like I'm such a badass too cool to reveal himself. I'm nobody important and have the boring name to prove it! :-D

Anthony J. Williams, Esq. (the "Esq." is a joke, heh, don't use that)

N.B. Not the Alink guy! :lol:

I guess I have to send probes to guess the production value. I'm still confused over the "high" (attack!) vs. "huge" (wait!) strategy. Also, it seems that if I send very low amounts of ships (like < 5), they almost ALWAYS make literally no dent on the enemy at all, just get wiped out, almost no point in sending such small amounts. Oh well, at least self destruct (after evacuating the one lonely ship left) is cool. :-D

Yeah, it's good enough for now. At least, I don't see anything obvious that needs documenting, but I'm no pro. ;-)

I can go ahead and announce it on FreeDOS News if you want.
