This looks great. Are there sound effects and/or music or is it all text-based? How accessible is the "compatible version for blind players?" Thanks. Christina

Those 6 droids >are now correctly subtracted from your crew >numbers after the boarding (damage is first done to the free droids). >- Display change: When firing a missile the >current turn does not count towards the number >of turns until impact (e.g. a missile has an >impact time of 2 turns; when firing it needs the firing turn + 2 turns). >This was displayed up to now by adding +1 to the >turn count. Some wrongly assumed this to be a >bug. So from 1.0.7. on there is no +1 count to >the number of turns. Instead there is a turn no. 0 shortly before impact. >That´s also a bit more dramatic! >- Bug fixed: Description of ECM protection skill >did not state that it requires and uses up two active abilities. > >**** What is Smugglers 5? > >Smugglers 5 is the fifth installment in the >turn-based single-player space trading game >series.
