I mean "Enhanced Combat Systems" is so similar to "NGCS" that it is not funny. But then I saw that nice Latin name and I was totally charmed by it, so NO TOILET DUTY FOR ALL OF YOU. Yay.

An enemy of the later commander Keen era games. Eventually was lost to existance until Quake one where it could be visited upon activting its layer and getting to it in the game. It looks like a dope and thus its namestems from that. you can probably find more oneline in the dark realms of the internet. -Fear the Might of the Imperial Cortharian Fleet

"PDS Aetas Secundus: Elisha's Gamble" for instance may be the name for the first part of the 8.0 release with the functional Vagyr order of battle and a minicampaign to try out V technology in.

Now if you want to put something wonderful behind it like : PDS 8.0EP (Enhanced Physics, etc.) or PDS 8.0GLE (glorious leaders edition, etc.) fine. To much like 'Windows' for my taste. I don't do PDS for the name, I do it for the real time 3 dimensional combat model.

It's basically NGCS with slightly altered ships and maps (unless I'm missing something here) So why not just call it NGCS-AS?
