Comment 1 for bug 229074

Second the motion, vegastrike is a major OSS game and the world of vegastrike has moved on to 0.5.0. (I'm working on updating SVN so that I can do an up-to-date build right now. I could probably spit out packages for hardy... if I ever get the repo checked out.) Binary packages already exist which should run on Ubuntu though, so it's not so arduous to get it going. I've built SVN before (back when 0.5.x was alpha) and the process is not too painful. There's just a lot of source data.

The two games (0.4.3 and 0.5.0) are completely different. You can't bring any details of your old game over, although I suppose you could hack save files. Even selling everything and then credit hacking is meaningless because prices have shifted dramatically.
