 ## Compiling Vegastrike
 
+## Saving some space while downloading
+
+The Vega Strike Engine Source repository contains a lot of history not all of which is relevant to current developers if they want to quickly download and build something.
+By default, the full clone will download over 800 MB of data. There are several options to minimize this:
+
+1. Download a compressed copy of the source from the release
+2. Download a master.zip from GitHub
+3. Do a shallow clone using the following:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone [email protected]:vegastrike/Vega-Strike-Engine-Source.git --shallow-since=2023-09-27
+```
+
+This will produce a significantly smaller download - in the order of 22-30 MB; well over a 10x reduction.

 Currently, confed and aera are the two active factions.  AI must be default in this version as no other AI scripts are yet written. (Note by Stephen G. Tuggy 2025-01-13: Is this still accurate?)  nr_ships indicates how many starships will be in this flight squadron.

 There is a ship list either in the game files or on the internet, check that out for some good models. (remember: add .stock or .milspec on the end!!!! (milspec is only on some specialised ships)) Finally, save the file as before.
