There's a whole big batch of viewer stupid going on, which makes recommending a viewer difficult.
Myself, I'm sticking to the older version of Firestorm; I also have the new version installed ...mixing the two together is causing me problems.
I am dragging my feet on switching back to Singularity; mostly because it already has texture loading issues when I try it.
If you have Saturday afternoons free, Khamon, you might want to hop over to 3rdrockgrid and sit in on their community meeting (check the calendar
here). I'm no longer involved with either grid, but to me 3rg edges out Digiworldz simply because it is community run. Their server software is run by the same person, however; and I think he uses the same code for both grids.
There's big batches of stupid due to social engineering, huge egos, etc on the hypergrid which is making the hypergrid community even more toxic than it was just a couple of years ago (and that's saying something!). So were I you I'd be prepared to be underwhelmed, and I'd also make a point of wearing kevlar lest you find your back perforated by knives.
