   I don't maintain the official site, but I am one of the last remaining    
   Renegade systems in the world.   
      
   I would strongly suggest you start with 05-11, then upgrade to 98-101D then    
   upgrade to Y2KA2. The reason is because the menu sets from 05-11 are what most   
   people will be familiar with. If you just started with a new install of    
   anything past 05-11, you will get menu sets nobody is familiar with.   
      
   The problem with Renegade is that anything past Y2kA2 (the "1.x" series) is    
   full of features that I feel start to drift away from what Renegade was all    
   about. Things like lightbars and stuff resembling Searchlight. If someone    
   wants to run Searchlight, they can run that. Not to mention anything past    
   Y2KA2 has new menu sets and breaks compatibility with 3rd-party software due    
   to internal database structure changes.
