For anyone interested this is a link to the �still under development� Star Empires. It will be replacing StarFire third edition; keeping to the spirit and feel of the original game. As opposed to that joke version released called GSF which is closer to a pen and paper version of Space Empires than it is to StarFire.

Also here is a link to the discussion group for Star Empires. Joining is free and they welcome all comments. If you have ever wanted to see a 4E game under development or would like to make suggestion feel free to join. I don�t know how they will be working the beta testing but maybe you can get a slice of that pie. If nothing else some of the posted comments make for some good reading.
