I released version 1.1 of Dreg Sector: The Tract. It is now available in the games section of this forum.
It has numerous improvements and bug fixes over the previous version. Most importantly, the bug that filled the trader shops with infinite goods has now been fixed.
Special attacks have been better balanced and the early game is slightly easier. Also, there is now an item that prevents random encounters.
If you did not play Dreg Sector during the Heart of the OHR contest, I would love for you to give it a chance now and let me know what you think.
Thank you for playing.

Wow... So I installed this and played it for a little while and am pretty conflicted about it.
On one hand I think this kind of game is a perfect fit for this engine. I love the color scheme and the graphics and a whole bunch of the game mechanics. There is no doubt in my mind that this took a lot of hard work, and it's brilliant.
Of course on the other hand I feel like there could be some improvements made to the difficulty. Call it bad luck, or not the right mix of ships, or not enough know-how, but I died frequently... In fact I wasn't able to make it anywhere, and I played about 5 games. Of course it did get my heart going pretty fast the last game I played when I had one ship left, with 1 HP and I fired off my special attack on the last enemy ship and missed...

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. Make sure to buy 3 ships and purchase some extra weapons. Also, try fighting the Scavenge encounters on Heap. They are pretty easy. You will want to be using your special attacks often. They are pretty strong even if they don't seem like it at first.
