Remember how this new version was released almost at the very last second 2011?
Then it was buggy and horrible, crashing all over the place, but after a few days it was *MUCH* better.
Much kudos to all devs and other people who worked on getting this version of the mod out and then worked some more, even though it was the time of year when they could have been spending time with their families instead of slaving away trying to make the mod more stable, fix bugs, move ships and many many other things.
