01/23/04 - Happy New Year!
Due to the flu, the patches didn't quite make it out for Christmas. But the good news is that the Starfury patch should be out by next week, and the SE4 Gold patch is scheduled for the beginning of February. Here's to a great 2004.

Slick.

A lot of great new improvements with this upgrade.

Thanks Aaron, Beta Testers and Space Empires Team


Fyron (1. Added - "AI Tag ##" abilities for use in getting AIs to use specific components. )
This will be a huge help for us

[Voidhawk]

Yes, yes, looks tasty indeed!

Hopefully Aaron sneezed on the patch before he got it to Shrapnel. That way I'll have a good reason to take a few days off work to try it out.

(the flu is digitally transmissible, right?)

[Fyron]

Now we just need Aaron to add comma separated lists for vehicle type and target type...

[Katchoo]

I'm just glad to see Mousewheel support. Now Narf can get some excercise while playing SEIV.

[Paul1980au]

Good to see the improvements - would like to see them add new features though - although we should keep discussing them on this forum to try and generate some interest from MM
