Ares is now officially dead. According to me. Mourn now.
It doesn't run well under panther.
I humbly suggest to Ambrosia to remove the Officer's Club, Engineering Dept and Newswire sections of the Ares boards.
Thankyou for your time.
Or because they're fixing the bugs in the Ares Panther port
Ares will never be dead, as long as someone fires up Hera to make an odd scenario or two, every now and then...
I contacted Ambrosia about the update, got a response within 24 hours, and had identified a few problems within a couple more. If no one is responding to emails, then my guess is because the time is spent fixing Ares (or on other similar projects), rather than spending the time to respond to emails (which I'm sure they receive a lot of).
