			Becouse of the bug you can't build any building or ship in this mod. You need to have older version of spring to use this mod! (That leads that you cant play it online due to very old lobby version)

			===Current Status Of The Mod===

			Final Frontier has long been a subject of controversy within the Spring community, and numerous small arguments have formed around the balance of the mod. As a result, the mod will continue development through multiple avenues at this time.

			*Nemo has updated a variant, Low-Fat FF, for Optimus Prime's release of FF 1.18
			*Optimus Prime is taking a break from development, but plans to continue from FF 1.18
			*A team, as yet unnamed, has formed to take FF back to the OTA basics and work from there, in hopes of releasing a different balanced mod in a new version.

	The first important note is that although FF has wonderful turrets and defensive buildings, your opponent can fly HIS ENTIRE ARMY right over them and will never be hampered in his advance by wreckage from his downed ships. This makes defence quite different from Total Annihilation style mods; usually a strong front line defense can be bypassed, so the "line defence" strategy is not nearly so useful.
