SE V Status
 

Could someone give a few comments on the state of SE V, please. I feel like I'm in limbo.

Same as it has been for awhile. It is still in production and Malfador is shooting to start beta testing in January. Release so far is said to be hopefully Summer of 2005. That will allow for a full 6 months of beta testing and bug squishing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Awsome. I hope it has better graphics... and an even bigger tech tree! lol One things for sure, I'll be one of the first to order me a pre-order copy at ebgames.com http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif this game is sweet.

Oh bigger tech tree it will have. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Malfador has already told us that the tech tree will pretty be never ending. If you want to keep researching a particular area you can and the technology will keep progressing, albeit slower at the higher levels. No more will we see weapons stopping at level 5 DUC, etc... It will be great! So until that time continue to enjoy SEIV!

haha, awsome! That will be super fun! Will it be modable like this one? Cuz I love the aspect of consumer-customization :p

Re: SE V Status
 

Of course! Malfador has made their name on moddability. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Make sure to read the chat logs of the two IRC chat sessions with Aaron Hall on the subject of SEV:

I keep a list of features on my website for Space Empires V in case you don't want to wander through Fyron's chat logs, you can find it here:
Space Empires Depot

Unlimited Galaxy size and unlimited empires!

How do you keep track of all that?. Obviouslly there must be some limit albeit a very large one, otherwise it would take eternity to run a turn. It sure would be interesting however to send a Voyager mission out in one direction and find other empires even after travelling for 10 years.

The chat logs are just so much more filling, but your page is good for a quick skim when you don't have any free time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: SE V Status
 

Well, the chats logs are certainly filled with hard to read text, strange Posts by the normal irc crazies, and some guy named Fyron who thinks he is in charge.

Anyway, both our Posts are shameful plugs for our websites - which the people of these forums should support much more often! If you are one of these people, make haste, and visit both our sites! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
