Thanks a bunch!!!
Started playing the game yesterday, ancient but almost unlimited possibilities and thanks to you i now have a manual(which was not included in my rip).

You are the man!!!

Post's such as these makes me wonder about the value of the FAQ

I bumped the FAQ to get this away from first page.
Nothing new included.

----------------------------------
To Piron:

Hi there.
This is such an awesome game, you will see that in a few days.
Then please support the author of it by buying it so that he can develop SPace Empires 5.
It's easy do buy it over the net. I live in Sweden and got my game a few days after I ordered it.
(Don't remember exactly how many days as it is quite some time ago now).

There is a free demo that can be downloaded aswell.
Please, don't spread pirated copies of this game around as it will take away the financial basis for a sequel!

There is always one in every crowd. I for one would be constantly posting question if not for the FAQ. I am always checking looking for updates and look forward to seeing them as I would waiting for a new book at barnes and noble's. You and slick are providing an invaluable service to many players, and by some Posts this is veteran and newbie players alike. Do not let one post in any way make you feel that the FAQ's are taken for granted or not respected.

Herc,

Thanks for the feedback. The first thought that went through my head when I saw that post was the same as Ruatha's and I questioned the value of the FAQ because it now seems that it can greatly benefit the pirates out there with no documentation. I guess that we will have to live with that since there was never an intention (nor a way) to restrict the information to people who bought the game.

I have to say that it was pretty crass of that guy to make that post and he should be Banned from this forum. But he already got what he wanted. Such is life.

Slick.

There will always be people who rip games... Maybe he will like it enough to purchase it.

Do not let that take away from the faq's main goal.

WHich is to help the community.

I'm with tesco. We move forward with best intent!

There are all kinds of great things that are abused. But that never tarnishes the value of the great things, and all the hard work invested, personal satisfaction, and good feelings from helping out our mates.

That is the reward we already have received, friend.

don't worry about what your posting as long as it isn't cracking information. pirates are going to pirate until they get caught or there conseince bothers them to much. if you don't post, you might get a few more people to play the game, but there wouldn't really be a community to play with. if you do post, 95% by my guess where going to pirate anyway. lack of a manual was only an annoyence when i was doing that and never stopped me.

I agree, it's very easy to order the game over the net. I ordered the game on Thursday and I get it on Monday even so I live in Finland and I chose the slowest shipping method
