I was talking about this a few days ago and remembered. Last time I worked on this faction, we were waiting for gAMeboy to release an update, fixing some model frames that were hurting performance. It's sad if he gave up on it, and won't be updating any more. The faction is really good, and I hope someone else can. Not much is left to do, and IMO the faction was very close to being ready last time I looked into it.
I'm trying to find the last version I had, but some of my Glest stuff mysteriously disappeared. Might take a while until I can dig around a recent working version, if I will at all. It would be sad to lose good work on such a good faction.
