• Major changes in Decoding Score! It is faster and I fixed 2 very important bugs!
• You should not see any longer that program just runs forever!
• AI ships that died because the collided into something will now b e accurately counted
• Cargo bases now decrease number of turns before purchased ships will appear.
• Maintenance points for starships and repair bases added.
• Penalty for not having enough storage facilities for fighters added

Ok, I missed some of the updates the Beta of SXWA that was released.  here is an updated list:
 

• AI will now attack you if it will find you and it is strong enough.
• Ability to build bases (bases create more prestige points, decrease prices of ships - see readme file)
• You can have multiple fleets.
• You no longer loose a game because you lost a single fleet or you were killed during the mission.
• 3 sides Rebel/Empire/Pirate
• Score decoding is improved (we found some bugs in ship info file)

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past month.  Killmore has release his latests version of Strategic Xwing Alliance.   The new features includ

• The Ability to divide your fleet
• Move to a sector by right clicking on it
• More ships to build
• Ability to choose your team's AI level, and the computers
• Ability to choose you prestige rate
• Ability to choose your research level at begining
• Play as either Imperial, Rebel, or Pirate

I am currently working on different players types. So in next release you can expect:

• Ability to play Empire/Rebel/Pirates against Empire/Rebel/Pirates.
• Ships will now have icons.
• Instead of standard letter R or I you will see picture of the most expensive ship.

News for May 22 1999

    Strategic Xwing Alliance Alpha 4.0 released.  New features include:

• More empirial base types
• Bug that was causing team 1 to be misread is fixed.
• Ship losses are no longer random - The "Decode Score" program tries HARD to figure out exact losses. But it might fail sometimes. DO NOT change the ship types or equipment! That will change ship prices and cause DecodeScore to misinterpret results. Decode score does make mistakes ! This is partially the fault of errors in shipinfo.txt file. I need help with that !!!
• You can involve the cruiser in the battle by placing it close to the enemy base.
• 5 levels of difficulty.
• More kinds of ships to buy.
