[Notes] 

*IMPORTANT* This release, like the Detonator one, has a bad crack. The Galaxy map doesn't work and saves stop working after a while. There are some fixes floating around the net, but some say they cause other problems. If you want to be on the safe side, you will have to wait for a proper crack, but with this you'll at least have the game. 

I long for the days when a release carrying the name Reloaded meant that it would work perfectly no matter what...
