Happy 2005. Only 395 years and 2 months before we launch our first colony ship.

You are referring to this:
http://www.malfador.com/se5/pics/newyearsteaser.jpg

A very nice pic with more updated ships than any image published yet. I recognize the Terran design style/theme from Starfury on one of those ships, so I bet that SE V will use the Starfury Terran style instead of the SE IV Terran style. And there's an unmistakable Drushocka craft there, as well. We already have seen the Jraenar, Cue Kappa, and Amon Krie ships. I can't easily recognize any of the others but I presume each ship represents a unique race/species design. I hope the XiChung make it into SE V as I like their ships. Very thematically 'right' for organic tech and also sort of creepy.

[Caduceus]

Nice picture.

[Raging Deadstar]

And a Norak Vessel at the back there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[David E. Gervais]

Here is a clean .bmp Version for those who want it.. (Just grab the attachment. )

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Aiken]

At least 4 completely new race presented! Great new year present from Malfador. But we want more, more ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Raging Deadstar]

Back Row:
Could be a Second Norak Ship but probably new.
New Ship, although Maybe redesigned UkraTal ship.
Definitely a Norak Ship.

Middle Row:
Jet Fighter-esque ship could be a Cue Cappa Fighter or new race?
Definitely a Cue Cappa vessel
Drushocka Ship (and very nice too)

Front 4:
Terran Fighter?
Terran Ship from Starfury
Jraenar ship
Amonkrie, but it looks very Sithrak in style.

Actually that Said although I doubt this can be answered, Will the Starfury Amonkrie designs be recycled for an Organic race? I thought those ships were quite cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Captain Kwok]

Very exciting.

[Ruatha]

I just like this picture.
Happy new year! http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/download.php?Number=321354

EDIT: Darned, how do I upload a picture and display it?
Not just upload OR display but both as one!

[Fyron]

You need to get the actual URL of the image. Make the post with the file attached. Then, view the attachement. This will give the actual address of the image, which you can use in the image tag.

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/uploads/321354-bil.jpg </pre><hr />

Edit the post you just made and insert the image code. Disable the "mark as edited" option to avoid marking the post as edited, which in this case is pointless.

This image is a little large though, so you might want to reduce the size and reupload for the image in the post. You could make it into a link pointing to that larger image like so (make sure to enable HTML in your post before you make it):

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> &lt;a href="http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/uploads/321354-bil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="url of smaller sized image"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</pre><hr />

[Ruatha]

Thanks Fyron!!

I can see how the one in the back might be Norak since it has the Norak color scheme and a general similarity to the "X-wing" style design of the Norak SE IV ships. The others are much more difficult to identify.

I also hope that the Starfury designs will be re-used in some way or another. (Obviously the Sithrak will be... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) Along with the sleek 'new' Amonkrie ships, the Xiati and Fazrah styles are quite good enough to be in the SE V universe. I also hope there are some 'generic' ships of no particular race design available to everyone so we can have unidentifiable ships for assorted 'covert ops'.

David Gervais has generously rendered a 1600x1200 Version of the new year's card. You can get it from SpaceEmpires.net (http://www.spaceempires.net/home/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=74&amp;mode=&amp;or der=0&amp;thold=0).

[Ed Kolis]

Hmm, I thought the UkraTal ship was an Eee ship...

You are a good thinker. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif but it never was a UkraTal ship, it is a Eee.

[Timstone]

Sorry for being late, but I had other important things to do...

The best of wishes to everyone for 2005! May this be the year we will play SE V!

[Raging Deadstar]

Hey, those were my assumptions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif It's not like i'm involved in anyway in the Space Empires V development http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
