for those of you a little leary of official releases and want some
decent player "testimonials" (all good, by the way) see here:
http://umec.oesm.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=274

BTW, Mr. Macris works for the US server developers/publishers. The EU
server publisher has just (in the last few minutes) begun it's release
of EP2.

There are some issues, and for those of you knowledgable about
JumpGate already and wish a summary of the "issues" please see here:
http://umec.oesm.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1693

among the major issues of contention, atm, are _current_ POS
maintenance costs, Flashfire expendibility, HeavyFighter balance and
quite possibly the kitchen sink as well...stay tuned! (you can see a
synopsis of the flame wars here:)
