Alpha Clones! Cool! A reason to come pester people!

It's been awhile since I played and I gotta say, nice job! Launcher is slick as snot now and the graphics!

I been away 5 years guys wow!

So for your cut and paste enjoyment, a quick dirty deploy stolen from you all so I don't have to go digging next time :):

You missed something very important: msttcorefonts.
If you (like I did these past few days) try to run the game without them, the launcher won't work at all. The launcher doesn't even give an error about them being missing. They're so simple and basic, the launcher doesn't check to see if they're there before it tries to use them. But, on a default Debian install, they aren't included. They won't even show up in the package manager until you add contrib to your non-security package repository:

deb [mirror] stretch main contrib non-free

That said apparently people are using the 1.0.2 ssl libs fine.. not sure why I was having an issue there.. Edit the script accordingly and you can skip that bit.

Why don't you use nouveau?
Kepler Nvidia card have reclocking support on the OSS stack and perform about the same as the blob except that.. unlike the blob, they do support Gallium Nine (native D3d9) so it allow you to offload the D3D9 to the video card directly instead of converting it to OpenGL by wasting your CPU resources and lowering your frame rate.

Plus a blob-less setup is more friendly to use and update, you don't need to mess with the nvidia drivers each time you change the kernel and xorg plus your not limited to the version you can use.

Nouveau is usable for video card where Nvidia released the signed firmware. Kepler card like your 740 are fully supported. More recent Nvidia card are less supported (missing re-clocking so stuck in boot (slow) speed). And by useable, I mean that Dx9 game run faster on Nine-Wine than on Windows.

Radeon card are also fully supported on release (RX cards where fully supported like a month before the release).

You still need recent kernel, libdrm, mesa, llvm (like 4.10+ if possible for the kernel and Mesa 17.x+, LLVM 4.x or better, 5.x)

Also, if your using open drivers, you will need libtxc or something like that for patent encumbered S3TC texture compression support. (except of course if you like Vantablack ships/stations...)

Also you have to google for how to enable gallium nine support on your platform for D3D9 support. Mesa have it enabled by default now but you need a patched wine. And you need to enable it in the eve launcher too (I think I have to make an actual tutorial for that...)
