Netrek is a multiplayer (up to 16 players) network space battle/conquest
|
|
game, with a Star Trek theme. Players can command one of several ship
|
|
types (Federation/Romulan/Klingon/Orion) and can band up in teams. The
|
|
object of the game is, basically, to control the Universe, by capturing
|
|
enemy planets, killing the enemy, etc.

NOTE: This is the "BRMH" client. It is optimized for speed, and so is
|
|
well suited to you if you have a slowish system. However, you don't get
|
|
any of the fancy extras, like colors, sound, etc.
|
|
|
|
NOTE 2: This client is distributed in binary form, because it is a
|
|
"Blessed" client, meaning that it has been approved by the "Gods of Netrek"
|
|
and has had an RSA key embedded in it. You can, of course, compile your
|
|
own client if you wish, but keep in mind that, if you do so, your client
|
|
will be "Un-Blessed" and will probably be kicked out of the official
|
|
servers. This is to prevent some unscrupulous player from hacking his/her
|
|
client to give him/her superhuman powers ("cyborgs", or "borgs").
