The Right to Bear Armadas
EddieB (of Flight Commander fame) has posted something interesting over at the Chat Zone... in his spare time, he's begun creating an Armada/Civilization like Wing Commander project -- and now he's looking for someone to take over development. Here's his comments and some nifty screenshots:

You'll need to put the .jar files from the xml pack in your java ext directory.This is really in hopes of finding a java developer willing to take over. Java is a great language for beginning programmers, so I hope someone will become inspired enough to fly with this, I'd be happy to answer questions about the source.
