On one hand known information is limited and insufficent.


As well it should, since such is the sad fate of "security thru obscurity" always. Whip

More difficult things than just hacking the encryption are there.


But we may never know, since not everyone who is good at breaking encryptions is equally good at decyphering other things, whereas others who perhaps could might not have the time, the patience, the tools or the talent needed to pass the first encryption hurdle. Sherlock

what good people they are if they cant step forward, introduce themself and to ask the information they need in person?


Me, for starters, and I'm still waiting for Wumpus or Pricklypea to come forth with answers or code or tools for several years now. Evil or Very Mad

Encryptionless Stars! mod that Pricklypea did make is probably still available at his site for download. He also called people to work and discover the meaning of the unencrypted data with it.


While at the same time withholding the info he already has. Shocked I won't waste my time rediscovering the tidbits others knew years ago.

so what was the point to publish it ... again?


Obviously, since we're talking about main HST file info, the point would be to allow easier/more evolved scenario setups, something you would already know if you had bothered to read this thread form the start. Razz



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
