SVN builds for Windows?
I was wondering if there's anywhere I can download a relatively recent SVN build for Windows - or, if not, whether anybody would be willing to post one? I don't have the resources to compile a Windows build on my own, but I'm curious to check out the changes since the last stable version.

Yeah, but if you need to turn it above setting 19, I'd have to ask what your doing.......
EDIT: actually, the one thing I thought of as a reason to jack up the compression was interstellar travel without jump nodes, which I have attempted, and failed when I turned it up to time compression setting 23.
As a side note, it seems SPEC drive stops functioning after a certain point, and there's no real good way to point yourself in the right direction because you can't target stars outside your current system.

That may be a reason to use time compression, but even on setting 19 traveling at 500m/s it would be too fast and the controls and fps are too jerky to do anything, however you CAN stop on a dime using it, something the game kinda lacks, actual BRAKES. The lack of having brakes is what makes flying large capital class ships unberable, but that's a subject for another topic.

No, there is no such thing as brakes in space CURRENTLY and retro rockets take a long time CURRENTLY, but they do have brakes in other sci-fi uhm.... media I suppose would be the correct word.... Whether or not this is true in the vega strike universe is up to it's content writers, however in other universes such as star trek, star wars, etc. the technology is known as "inertial dampeners".
But again, this is a topic for another area of the forums.

Eh... Inertial Dampeners wouldn't act as brakes, but they could enhance the effect of retros...assuming that the motive force was not also subject to inertial damping. They'd also make impacts less catastrophic if they were powerful enough and equipped on both colliding objects. Really it should just reduce your "effective mass", which gives the ship a greater thrust/mass ratio, making all manuvering quicker... more acceleration per unit of thrust regardless of direction.
Even ignoring that, the current retro model seems to use dynamically diminishing thrust as velocity approaches 0...makes that last few hundred m/s take absolutely forever in capships.
