Your scores are impressive, but let's get one thing straight.  There
is no TOP GUN imitator.  My friend write the TOP GUN TOD to get the
game to go beyond its limits that were preset by the developers, not
to imitate you.

Don't worry, noone is out to "capture your title."  I don't think may
people are interested in replaying the original tours in order to just
kill everything.  I think people are interested in a new tour, with
some newly designed challenging mission, and a new story line.  It is
certainly more creative anyway.

At anyrate, I already explained in another post that the TOP GUN TOD
was not an imitation, so I won't spend any more time defending that.
In addition, if you were an X-Wing die-hard, you would be willing to
try out what other X-Wing fans and PC hackers have to offer.
