I have just checked, version 3.4 works ok with this game saves.
alphax.txt are not the same, but the difference is in the last parameter added to 3.4, which is vanila features.
It appears, that when this is not loaded in 3.4 game still works.
Is it without problems, that cannot be seen immediately? I do not know. But probably we may expect no problems.

There are though differences, version 3.4 is more restrictive for a human player:
- rule 8 for drones, not 0, as default before.
- reactor speed increase for copters is 0, not 2 as default before.

You could change these in your 3.4 instal in order not to be in disadvantage against other players, but we come back to the issue, that in other games, where players use "out of zip" alphax.txt, you would be in advantage against them.
Unless you manually change alphax.txt when needed.

I have changed to 0 in 3.4 and won't change back.

Enough "restrictive" and others "banned exploits" and so on...
If people like SMAC to be a drone management simulation, to each their own but without me

Expect delays, I'm sorry.

I did send the turn, didn't I?
