Keepin SEIII alive
Just came across whis website:
http://www.bettafoods.com/space_empires_iii_central.htm
I had no idea the SEIII community was still active. I'm impressed. Does anyone know the person who runs this site? Is anyone here still active in SEIII? We could use some SEIII wizards for the Wiki...
Note also SEIII conversions for the Drushockan and Ukratal shipsets =-) |

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
There are two of them, BlueOrionTiger and AdmiralMartin. They are moderately active over on SEnet.
Oh, and on IRC. Can't forget that. AdmiralMartin is on IRC right now.

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
So cool!! And I've still got SEIII fully installed on one of my older computers! Getting the urge to break that out again.
Though I probably shouldn't as it would really take away from my SW SF work. Thanks a lot

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
Ahh, so many fond memories from SEIII. Still play once in a while, the AI's can sure give you a run for your money if they're on team mode! Good times.

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
Why not?
It's important to remember the ancestors that came before us.  |

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
Because, even though it's old it's still a good game?

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
Because some ppl would rather play a shareware game than shell out hard cash for SE4?
Because there are some ways in which SEIII is arguably better than seIV? (construction queues spring to mind)
Because it make a nice change from se4 every now and again? |

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
IIRC, some guys found a cheat that was never addressed by MM. That sort of killed of the PBEM comunity.
But it was a nice game. 1v1's could be over in an hour. And ship sets were easy to make.

Re: Keepin SEIII alive
I fully own SE4 and Starfury, and will be buying SE5 when it comes out, No insult to Malfador here at all, but I really can not be bothered or want to pay $25 for SE3, is there anyway to get it full version for free so I can try a few games?
