I noticed a bit of interest lately in where Nova was at so here is a bit of an update.

I'd hazard the interest is always there, but only surfaces from time to time.

generating turns required a complex procedure of running separate applications is a specific order.

You mean, worse than a batch processing managed by a script?

Multiplayer play would be crippled by a lack of effective security.

You mean, protecting the "master status files" from Player tinkering or from Host tinkering?

I went perusing some files at SourceForge. The planet name list looks like the kind of thing you want to keep in a separate data file, not embedded in the code. Also, I think I found at least one duplicate name. 
But I wasn't able to find the ring / spiral / blob generators, which are about the only thing my own attempt of years ago managed to do.

Stately progress, indeed. 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
