What is GECP and who needs it? In short, it is a front-end for Mike Murdock's MajorBBS game, Galactic Empire, that aids the avid player with navigation and combat. GECP simplifies navigation and combat, provides some automatic defense features, and keeps your last SCAN in a window onscreen so you can see the movement of ships easily. It automatically aims phasers for you so you rarely miss a shot, and its auto-orbit feature prevents crashing your expensive ships into planets. It simply is a must for anyone who takes Galactic Empire seriously.

"Picture this. I'm cruising around warp 6 towards my unsuspecting target. As I approach, I drop to impulse and the shields automatically raise. My scanners update constantly to show my target's course. Seconds later, I scan as my ship automatically sends a volley of missiles, re-shields and re-cloaks all in one fluid motion. Next!"
-- Commander Shadow of The Scarlet Brotherhood (Keith Johnson)

17 Jul 2009: GECP can still be used for telnet BBS's, in spite of only being written to support modems, due to the magic of DOSBox. (Thanks to Sean Devine for the tip.)

  1. Extract GECP into the installation directory of your choice. Then, in that directory, do the following...
  2. Create a file called dosbox.conf, which contains:
    	[serial]
	serial1=nullmodem server:ris.kicks-ass.info usedtr:1 telnet:1
  3. Create a file called gecp.bat, which contains:
    	MOUNT C .
	C:
	GE3CP.EXE p1
  4. Run dosbox -conf dosbox.conf gecp.bat -exit

Below are links to download the GECP executables. Registration is no longer required, so you can just ignore the order form contained in them. (The address they give is out of date anyway!) Because these programs still require a registration code to unlock, you can generate your own code here:

GECP version: v1.03 (for GE v2.x)
v1.14 (for GE v3.2x)
