Sometime in our future, governments slowly began to meld together through increased technology, business, and commerce until they became known as 'The Nationalist Union'. It was a flawed government which did not take care of its uncontrollable bureaucracy. Later on a new government called 'The Oligarchy' rose to power using aggressive political methods to assure complete control, including the drugging of its citizens with psychological drugs. It would seem that no one would be able to break their grasp... until you. You dock with a local station after a long patrol, when by some miracle, the drugs the Oligarchy has been feeding you wore off. For the first time you remember you could think on your own, then you realize Oligarchy officials want to drug you again. You fight your way out and hijack a strange looking fighter. A fighter you have never seen before and of which you don't understand. You don't care since it's your ticket out, so you take it.

Shouldn't you include a fancy nightly build if its needed?

That sort of logic makes pretty good sense to me, and I almost did just that, but I was told that releasing a freespace open mod with a nightly build is not standard practice since the builds change and nightlies go out of date quickly. In the end it worked out since there was a bug in the code exploited by this mod that scp caught and fixed in a more recent nightly.

Now's a good time to download a build though, since a more stable 'release candidate' build has been made available. You can get it here.
