Political upheaval has Devastated Juprup society. Now they need a great leader to lead them back from oblivion. Do you have what it takes to reclaim their role as a superpower in the quadrant?

LOL. Is this empire cursed, or what.

Still haven't found the !@% disc..still looking.

Aw, man! And I was just about to make him an offer he couldn't refuse!

I've visited the Juprup systems, and I fail to see what is so bad about it.
They've got a great start, possibly the largest number of colonies of any race, a nice defendable territory, and I'm offering to be their best friend!

*blink*

OOOOOOooooo. SE4. 1.49. The things you find in old backup CDs..

Time to rejoin. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

applied to join. Again sorry to bail like that.. I still can't find the CD, but I found a copy of 1.49 buried in a backup. Didn't check it til now.

"nice defendable territory"

Yeah. Like a built in minefield.. with no IFF. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Well, the deal I made still stands for you. One year of deep discounted Syndicate merchandise.
Place your orders, and I'll build it for you.

Now only if installing SE4 1.49 hadn't made SE Gold run like crap http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

And the legendary Phoenix-D returns from the isle of death in the Juprup's most dire hour of need...

Now there's some irony for you.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

EDIT: So, I take it that you found your v1.49 CD...

Now only if installing SE4 1.49 hadn't made SE Gold run like crap <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've currently got 1.49, Gold 1.60, and Gold 1.67 installed, and haven't noticed any performance hit at all.

Have you tried the usual turn CD music on/off, etc.?

[Phoenix-D]

I didn't change a *thing* in SE4 Gold, and it's the one that's really jerky. Mouse movement jerky, delayed menu activation, missed clicks, the whole 9 yards.

Phoenix-D

[Suicide Junkie]

I don't suppose SE4 uses any external DLLs that have changed between the two Versions...
Some common registry or other settings?

[Gandalph]

I'm not sure the reason, but my Gold install suffered performance hits after 1.49 install. Problem solved by reinstall of Gold. Hope that helps.

Summary of the empire.
Minimal size, but defendable territory, surrounded by friendlies, Allied with the author of the mod, cheap access to maintenance free ships and all racial techs (!).

Back on topic:

Alas, the Juprup's Messiah proved to be false. Yet still they watch the starts, waiting for the day that their true Messiah shall descend from the heavens to lead them.

Lo, and yet still the Juprups gaze upon the heavens, desperately hoping for the sign of their leader's ascention....

[Captain Kwok]

Perhaps an end to the chaos of the Jubrup is close...I just need to get approval...

[dumbluck]

And as the Astronomer Jenkins gazed upon the heavens, he observed that the planet Jurqoines had aligned itself in the center of the 7 stars of the Juprian's crown. "Behold," he cried to his fellow astronomers, "the day of our great Leader's return has come at Last!"

The Juprup are surrounded by the enigmatic Vorlons.

Galatic News Update

The Juprup Imperium has finally dismantled the master computer that has ruled their people for the Last 5 years. The new leader, Speaker Spoogy, was elected in the Juprup's first election since 2400. Speaker Spoogy's campaign platform included sweeping economic reforms and improved foreign relations.

More details to follow.
