Where are the downloads?

You guys seem to have misinterpreted the question. He's not asking where stuff can be downloaded, he's asking what happened to all the new releases there used to be.

There hasn't been much in the way of new releases lately. What has been released tends to be announced more on spaceempires5.com and spaceempires.net more than Shrapnel these days.

More ship sets please!!

One can keep track of new shipsets here.

Kwok , any thought of including any of these new shipsets for Balance Mod ?

Fyron · #5 May 15th, 2008, 08:07 PM

That would not be a good idea. It would distort the purpose of the mod, which is not to add things to the game, but simply to balance the data. It would increase the download size of the mod. It would increase the amount of maintenance work Kwok has to perform, keeping more races up to date. And last but not least, its trivial to adapt shipsets to work as AI empires in the mod, making it not a very compelling thing to do.

Part of the problem is that making new things for SEV is much more difficult. The 3D nature is what does that. With SEIV you didn't need to worry about that so long as you had a presentable 2D image. 3D stuff is a different thing entirely.

The better SE4 shipsets were made from 3D models, though.

thanks, Fyron, you got my point. I just like downloading stuff for SEV. I'm not looking for any particular upgrade to a mod, or anything like that. Just for something new or upgraded to play with. I've tried Spaceempires.net also, and nothing new has been on there for a couple of weeks also. Since I can only go online at the public library, it's hard for me to remember all of the sites to visit. I can't save them to favorites here. Oh well, I'll just come back here sometime next week again and cross my fingers.

1.77? Must have been a typo; the latest version is 1.71. If you know of any bugs you want fixed, email Aaron (se5 at malfador dot com; preferably with a savegame attached to reproduce the bug) and he might get around to fixing them

Well, I should be coming out with a CB1.7 sometime this month...
