It appears that one of the coders on Hard-Light.net has endeavored to give Starshatter a much-needed revamp. ( http://www.hard-l...c=80957.40 )
They have not posted links to any new builds as of yet. However, if such updates are made available in the near future (e.g. viewable weapons on ship preview screen; use of .obj files in Magic) then we may, once again, see a revival in the SS modding community.
