Can someone explain to me the PID on the TWGS screen, and how it's derived?
Will it remain the same each time they log in?

Its the Process ID, Its nice to have the ability to identify a hung process positively in the task manager, And it will be different as it IDs a Windows process not the player

Correct.

There's also a PID on the alien manager tabs so you can associate a NONPSERV.EXE process with an alien race, in case one needs to be reset, or if you see one pulling a lot of CPU, you can see which race is causing the problem and send me a TWA so I can fix it. I needed it for testing, but decided to keep it in for others to use.

Cool, thanks.
I'd mistaken it for "Player ID"
