Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?

Sorry if this has been answered already. I did a search and could not seem to find a difinitive answer. Maybe I did not search hard enough, I don't know, but I just recently read at the wargamer.com's website and it had an article with the 2003 announced games and in it is Space Empires V. Is this true? Thanks for any replies.

I don't think SEV will be ready this year. The next game in development is Starfury. They might be getting that confused with SEV.

I have heard alot of ppl refer to Starfury as SE5...

Actually the article said both Starfury and SEV. Odd

Stafury and SEV are two seperate products, although they are related and (apparently) will share quite a bit of code. starfury is in Beta right now, and we all assume it will be released before seV.

If you're worried about how much life is left in SEIV, the answer is plenty. I doubt SEV will be out for another year or two, and even when it is some ppl will probably stick with the current Version. Hell, I bet you could still find a few ppl out there still playing seIII...

I play SE3 often. SE3 is really good. I like the construction queus and the unit management. I never found an advantage in constructing fighters, troopers or mines in SE4 instead of just having a handy all-in-one unit.
