Nice that you mentioned the addictive qualities of FlyingGuns.... :-/
In all seriousness...make the **** thing 100% webstart, not 50% webstart! I swear you'll get many more players. We know j3d is a dead and miserable tech, so how many of us want to install the darned thing? Don't give us the choice...just do it behind our backs

.
(if the stumbling block is Sun not having a webstart-extension JAR for j3d, then put one together and JGF can host it - I'll then get all the other j3d games using that same JAR, and you'll all benefit from reduced download times).
