Hey everyone go to the web site they are taking suggestions and have already added several from what has been posted already. They seem to want to get this right so come and suggest all you want. Also they say it is more like freelancer if you had to choose a game it might be like, and they now have 56 systems because we asked for more. So if you want to see something in the game go to the forum there and ask away.

I also posted in the commits section but thought it would be better here.

Features and still more coming.

• During a battle NPC's communicate with each other in order to rearrange forces, so there will be maximum two NPC's on one target, and they will not be on each other's way
