That's OK if he finishes making SE VI before he completes SE V. We'll just skip V. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif.

Re: ETA on SE5?
 

Nasty and false rumour indeed.

It will be called "SE XP", because yesterday Microsoft purchased Malfador Machinations. They are going to release 3 Versions of SE XP: "Starter Edition" (40$; only 3 planets allowed for colonisation), "Wargamer Edition" (75$; you can actually build warships, but no more than 32, since Windows is a 32bit OS) and finally "Management Unlimited" (130$; can do anything but you need to learn WSH, .NET architecture and ERP foundations to start playing).

Edit: ETA is "Right after Longhorn" now.

Malfador has been bought by Microsoft!!! OMG! Space Empires V will be for X-Box only!

Re: ETA on SE5?
 

Maybe Malfador should by Microsoft. Then we'd get a real operating system for our PCs... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Van Gogh references-

I have a great joke that I pull out of the bag whenever anyone mentions Van Gogh. Best told with a completely straight face. It goes something like this:

Stooge: Blah blah blah blah blah Vincent Van Gogh Blah blah.

Me: Oh yeah? I met Vincent Van Gogh you know, in a pub.

Stooge: Bollocks did you, Van Gogh's dead.

Me: That's what I said. I said 'you're dead', and he said 'no I'm not.'

Stooge: *raises eyebrow incredulously*

Me: ( babble on regardless, maintaining straight face)So I told him I was a great admirer of his work and offered to buy him a pint, but he said "no thanks, I've got one 'ere."

Re: ETA on SE5?
