Welcome back, mate!
Same with me, just one week earlier! Got totally overwhelmed by all the new stuff, unbelievable what huge amount of work the modders did. I am still in the phase of calculating what mod and which widescreen patch asf. But i will get new hardware equipment soon, so i thougt i take my time to get familiar with all the new stuff at first, and realize it lateron at my new rig.
I hope you have a proper navigation officer aboard who can find a way home after diving through all the depths of new stuff here! I am still lost after one week of investigation, and confusion still seems to get worse from day to day...
