http://fred.neurotica.com/Prospector_R142a_Win_X86.zipKnown bugs:Setting some skills is slowSome of the overlays are bugged during radio fire target select and examine.Included the correct freetype6.dll file so if you have the other R142 from the forum just grab this and update that dll.*I think I have nipped the auto explore CTD bug in the butt. The fix will be in the next release.
