Starfury has gone GOLD!
From Malfador's web page:
09/05/03 - Space Empires: Starfury Has Gone Gold! Its done, its finally done! Starfury has been sent for duplication and should go out to pre-orders at the end of the month. We've worked long and hard on Starfury and hope that everyone likes it as much as we do. Keep your eye out for a demo coming next week. We also put up some new screenshots! |
Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
oh oh oh oh!!!

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
Well, many of us beta testers would dispute that it's 'done' but you're gonna get the chance to decide that for yourself now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I'll admit that it is fun as it is. We just wish that a few planned features like cloaking had been implemented before the initial release. |

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
So does this mean we can expect the final patch for SEIV Gold soon? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
The demo for Star Fury is just around the corner. I'd also advise you guys who are interested in the game to start checking the Star Fury forum!

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
Ahem, getting back on topic...
Does this mean that beta testers can now give their honest opinions of the game? Has anyone gotten a copy of the game yet? |

Seriously though, Starfury has turned out to be a pretty darn fun game, and about as moddable as SE4. I'm also sure you artists will enjoy being able to see your ship models actually displayed in realtime 3D, instead of just a static rendered image... I've even made a model of the original Enterprise (Kirk-era) and imported it into the game, so even when the game is released there will be custom ships available. Heck, even a full-blown mod - there's one that SJ created called "SE4-ism" which was originally intended to make the game graphics more consistent with SE4 but soon evolved into a balance-everything-and-add-strategic-depth mod. So yes, I do think you'll all enjoy this game... oh wait, that wasn't the question? Well who cares anyway? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
I did make a few ships for SF, but no one seemed to be able to get them to work. Something to do with the poly count.
They worked fine for me. Oh well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I will keep working on it from time to time. [ September 07, 2003, 03:38: Message edited by: Atrocities ] |

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
ah, yes. The good ol Condor. reminds me, I should get back into modding again soon.
|
Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
FYI: I made a ship called 'The Condor' which bears a remarkable resemblance to another ship named after a bird. I'll make the model available along with it's skin when the game gets out and if any interest is shown.
It has been tested in the game a while back and worked fine. hmmm... would you like a peek?... of course you would... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1062934535.gif Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
Its gone from true SE4-ism, through a monster phase (very fun), and is now more of just "stuff SJ likes" tempered by the fact that the poor thing has to be re-written every few patches due to EXE upgrades.
"Stuff SJ likes" currently includes: - "unrepairable" armor: Unless its organic, you'll have to take it to a spacedock for repairs. For special armors, like crystalline, or other hard-to-find specialty stuff, paying for repairs may be a good idea. For most, though, you're better off just throwing out the old and buying fresh armor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif . You can get some armor repair ability, but it is quite small (1 hp per 20 seconds type stuff) - Tough armor: think P&N's PPA, except more so. You initially get 5hp/kt from shields, and 20 from armor. Also conveniently comes in large segments, since repairs are "by the hitpoint" instead of SE4's "by the component" - Meson bLasters: I may have gone overboard, but its quite a popular weapon, firing ~3 damage (7 heavy mounted) bolts 5 times per second. Somewhat avoidable with skilled manouevering, but when you've got 5 fighters chugging away at you from all sides, the situation is quite chaotic and the outlook is grim http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif - Power Systems: Reactors are small, but rarely generate enough power. Most ships need supply storage bays (P&N style; powerful and not too heavy) in order to fight effectively for more than two volleys. On dedicated warships, more space can be dedicated to reactors in order to keep your guns continuously running hot. - C&C: a different take on Bridge/Lifesupport/CrewQuarters than stock. Small repair ability added for each crew space on the ship, etc. - Weapon slots: still playing around with this. Currently MK I ships carry only light weapons, while MK II and MK III have heavier mounts, more shield slots & such. Weapon animations match SE4 quite closely, and I've done lots of little things in the files as I saw fit http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I'm not totally sure about how to fit in serious QNP yet; the engine system works quite nicely already, and the "bigger ships need more engines" stuff is stock. Making ships have nearly unlimited speed, and having the engines give acceleration bonuses only would be cool, though. Mission times and seeker speeds would all have to be rebalanced among other things I'm sure. |
Re: Starfury has gone GOLD!
inertia-less drives? so we could have those little round ships from star control. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
