End of quote

I don't know about anyone else, but when I say LRM I'm specifically talking about the Javelis, but LRF refers to long range frigates in general (Javelis, Assailant, and Illuminator).

Um Samurye you need to change the font color

Reply #44 from Sins Forums Top

hw - homeworld

Reply #45 from Sins Forums Top

I'll just change the font color to green, because on the Stardock forums it needs to be black or you can't see it, but on the SOASE forums it has to be white.
