Wow! This is a trip down memory lane! Aye Matey was authored by "yours truly", so I can respond to any questions here. I would like to make a comment. For those who never played the original M1 version, the original design of Aye Matey was to have the ships engage in space, and the bridge between the two ships was originally a space walk bridge. I liked that concept much better, but when we did the M2 version, the texture set didn't support it (as you may notice, we did not tweak the texture sets for DiaBD). If I were to do this level again, I'd bring it back to being in space.
If this level *does* seem familiar to you, that would indicate that you played the scenarios in the wrong order. ;-)
Aye Matey came first, and then the Santa Fe does make a "cameo" appearance in EMR in the level where the player visits a variety of "time gates". We even have a cameo appearance of the Pfhor in that level (and that level only). :)
DiaBD is the prequel to EMR.
