Default Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?

I liked in the constructon Q in SE3, you can move build projects around if you had more than one SY in a sector and not lose anything in doing so (other than speed on some) and I too have SE3 SE4 SE4G

Default Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?

There's only one thing I'm really, really concerned about as far as the future of the SE franchise goes. Of course we can expect to see SEV sooner or later, and hopefully SEVI, SEVII, SEVIII, and so on.

But what if the series reaches part X?! What will we call it then?! And more importantly, wouldn't it be illegal for Shrapnel/Malfador to market and sell it?!

Things that make you go hm.

Actually, I think part X (and XI and XII and XIII) will sell a lot. But some of the people who buy them may be disappointed.

Anyone that refers to Starfury as SE5 is not well informed.

On the contrary. Such person is obviously is well informed about the identity of the best space 4X game ever ! It is a person who stares back blank when you ask about SEV is ill informed

Malfador can do a Capcom and change the name of the series entirely! (Remember how they jumped from Megaman 6 to Megaman X - then Legends and Battle Network? Well, now we don't have Space Empires V, we have... Space Empires Armada!!! )

Or do a Nintendo/Microsoft and jump to some 1337-sounding number - power of 2 (Super Mario 64 - what happened to 4 through 63? ), current year (Windows 95/98/2000), whatever!
