Our first retail customer has found his way onto these boards! Only took 10 days from the release date.

You've got some good suggestions here, but I sincerely doubt they'll get implemented. You see, Starfury's original release through Shrapnel Games was way back in September 2003, it got patched up through January 2004, and no further development on it has been seen since. The rerelease through Strategy First was strictly to bring it to the retail market as an effort, combined with the upcoming retail release of Space Empires IV, to introduce the Space Empires series to the general public in preparation for Space Empires V, expected late this year. Space Empires V is currently in beta testing and will be the very first title in the series to be initially offered at retail.

BTW, I'd like to know how you found this forum. Was it mentioned on the box or in the manual somewhere, or did you have to search for it?
