			== Unused messages ==
			Several messages exist in MBMGEMSG.MSG that either were used in previous versions of Galactic Empire but unused in 3.2e, or were being considered for future versions but never implemented. These include:

			* "Enter warp factor (0 - 100)"
			* "Sorry Sir, we cannot fire with the shields up."
			* "Sir, we cannot rotate while we are moving!!" — still referenced in the game's code, but can't actually be triggered.<ref>GECMDS.C, lines 685 and 717</ref> Used prior to version 3.2d.<ref>[[GEREADME.DOC#03/06/94 Release 3.2d]]</ref>
