+This is a set of hacks to UQM that I'm making.
+
+I'm starting out with a bunch of stuff to facilitate exploring the universe,
+hacking planets, and more.
+
+Eventually, I intend to turn this into a general-purpose space-game engine.
+Since it's GPL, I don't think that there's much copyright issues.  I'll strip
+out the TfB/FF/PR3 IP and such (I'll try to modularize it) and make it that people
+can insert their own assets, story lines, etc. for their own enjoyment.
+Kinda like what Proj 6214 or whatever did... but not tied to any particular
+IP.  Just a general hyperspace grid, a modular ship (I dunno if the shape is
+IP that has to be altered...) and such.  With code and data plugins to describe
+what races are and what they do... it could be a fun thing.
+
+I'll also endeavour to port the whole thing to C++, over time.
+
+I'll make it use Alepha's loadable library stuff (and probably Lua and
+ECL for people to do some fun things with races without needing to write C++
+in the engine).
