Hi. No, it wasn't merged. I removed it because it caused a conflict with changes made in v2.5. But upon your request, I've made a new version compatible with 2.5.
Also, I had removed the optional Harder Enemy AI Escorts patch due to a conflict, but have gone ahead and made a new version compatible with Traveller 2.5 to give you guys some more variety. It's based somewhat on Ducimus' original version, but with some changes to make it compatible.. and not too difficult in some aspects. It's hard and will add a challenge, but shouldn't be impossible.
