Subject: Nebular Gauntlet v0.3

I am yet again pleased to announce another release of Nebular Gauntlet. It is a quick release, but there are many new features and fixes including a new map (sp_planets) and new images for several entities. You can check out the new screenshots at http://www.nebulargauntlet.org/trac/ng/wiki/Screenshots/0.3.
Also, I am looking for someone to help out with the network programming for the game in the future. I have tried to learn, but I am not very experienced and I would love it if someone who is more experienced could just help out and look over my code and give some pointers.

Thanks,
Steven Davidovitz
