I don't maintain the official site, but I am one of the last remaining 
Renegade systems in the world.

I would strongly suggest you start with 05-11, then upgrade to 98-101D then 
upgrade to Y2KA2. The reason is because the menu sets from 05-11 are what most
people will be familiar with. If you just started with a new install of 
anything past 05-11, you will get menu sets nobody is familiar with.

The problem with Renegade is that anything past Y2kA2 (the "1.x" series) is 
full of features that I feel start to drift away from what Renegade was all 
about. Things like lightbars and stuff resembling Searchlight. If someone 
wants to run Searchlight, they can run that. Not to mention anything past 
Y2KA2 has new menu sets and breaks compatibility with 3rd-party software due 
to internal database structure changes.
