I just purchased this game and like it a lot. I plan to run this game at home and my office. So I requested a second key. I would also like to run this on the laptop that I have on the boat. During summer time I spend most of my time down at the marina so why not travel the galaxy while I'm down there. The problem is that I run Debian Linux on that machine. Reading Wine database (Wine = windows emulator

) it looks like EL does not run under linux. Are there any plans on porting EL to Linux??
Thank you for this game devs!!!

I must ask why even use WINE when you can use Virtual Machines.

Because, in general, most VMs don't have 3d acceleration. Some newer versions of VMWare are minimally supporting DirectX, but WINE is currently far ahead in that area.

Now that would be a problem
