Hi Folks
Here is the Windows build of Pioneer Alpha 33. Have fun exploring!
The Pioneer development team are pleased to announce the release of
Pioneer Alpha 33. This release sees some new eye-candy: eclipses and
missile smoke trails. For modders, this release brings a simpler way to
define space station docking sequences, supporting stations with over
200 docking ports. Full changelog and builds for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux (32 & 64-bit) are available from the homepage
