If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
I do not see a problem with the W3300-AGL, as for the Tech Challenge whoever posted the challenge for this would have to weigh in as to whether or not it meets the need.
On a side note: The tech challenge is for a SAoY gun like this. I figure instead of the usual character X gets Y money, they can just buy them off NAM.
