This level was never really popular because it was only released as a beta. So a lot of people never bothered to try it out. Some people did, and they liked it. It's a nice change over normal anarchy. The level is small, very easy to learn...

Known Problems
==============
-When using certian versions of the 1.5 patch, 3 data errors are reported while loading the mission.
datacheck.out reports:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Errors in addon file <distortion.gam>:
Ship <Pyro-GL> (model <ConcussionMissile.OOF>) has 0 attach points (must have at least 3)
Ship <Phoenix> (model <ConcussionMissile.OOF>) has 0 attach points (must have at least 3)
Ship <Magnum-AHT> (model <ConcussionMissile.OOF>) has 0 attach points (must have at least 3)
Total errors: 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i don't think this should be much of an issue. It's probably a bug with the 1.5 patch.
That's all

-The Vauss clip has been modified to give you 1500 Vauss rounds.
-The EMD Gun has been changed to the Phoenix Cannon.

-The Cyclone Missile has been changed to the Mercury Missile.
-There are new HUD images for the weapons, and the ship.
-Sounds have been converted from Descent 2 for the Laser, Super Laser, Phoenix Cannon, and Frag Mortar.
(Note: I did not make the Pyro-GX reticle, and I'm not sure who did, so I do not deserve credit for it.)

This file is currently hosted by Ripway, and there's a limit on daily bandwidth usage. So if the link doesn't work it probably means the daily bandwidth was exceeded. So just try to download again later.
Sorry about that. I'll post this over at Planet Descent, and see if I can get it hosted over there.EDIT: I changed the download link. So the mission will now be downloaded from Koolbear's site instead of from Ripway.
