Tools like TWXProxy and Mombot still see frequent updates:

SWATH, despite its age, works great (nowadays I use it for very simple macros and as a front end to TWXProxy):

Tournament-level play is incredible. Deep strategy, full automation. You definitely do not warp around willy-nilly unless you want a planet full of photon missiles and quasar cannons dropped on your head. Sure, the ANSI graphics means you have to use your imagination a little more than in EVE, but if anything, that makes it _more_ fun for me.
- korethr 5y ago> You definitely do not warp around willy-nilly unless you want a planet full of photon missiles and quasar cannons dropped on your head. Oh, god. Don't remind me. I'm there, happily minding my own business, trading between ports in adjacent systems, and in warps a volcanic class planet with a level 6 citadel. Fucking death stars. You wanna blast me, a hapless newb who stumbled into your territory, out of the sky, fine. But running the interdictor generator is just being mean about it. :P
- dccoolgai 5y agoYeah, I love TW and always have: sometimes it's fun to play on the lower turns/day servers just so the botters don't jump out to such a huge lead.
