Star fury

[Mudshark]

Has anyone ordered yet? Am I the first? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Arkcon]

OMG ... I just found out now I can preorder! Where have I been? Gotta order as soon as I'm home ... what if they run out of pre-orders before then ... what will I do ....

Sheesh, I'm such an addict.

Pre-order is available until July 15th.

Starfury has its own forum (although it's perfectly OK to post about it here too).

You can find it here. (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=70)

Mudshark, have you seen the Spacesharks Union shipset, by Trooper ? It looks like you might like it.

Edit : Forgot the link to the Spacesharks. (http://diesel2035.free.fr/shark/index.htm)

You won' tbe waiting a year. The target for release is still July. That may be a tiny bit optimistic, but you won't be waiting till next year.

The info on Starfury on the Shrapnel site has July 1st, 2003 as a projected release date. OK, so maybe they won't make that date, but August 1st or September 1st are reasonable estimates.

SE V is planned for next year, maybe you thought it was Starfury ? They are two different games.

Sheesh, I'm such an addict. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hello, my name is Erax and I am an SEIV addict.

looking at the starfury forums also means updates don't get posted both here and there, because everyone knows where to look.

My beta copy is sealed away in a place you will never find it, so I have nothing to fear.

errmm.... wait a minute, it is sitting right here on my desk! Umm... *runs away*

*it seems that the starter of the mob is tapping away at the microphone and is unavailable.*

Well Narf was organizing a mob to come get my SF beta CD, so being hidden is more of an issue to him than to you. If you aren't joining that mob, it really doesn't pertain to you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Jack Simth]

Sorry, I worded that a little poorly; I meant "how is that a problem for you?"

um, can people read that? do you know why there's t's, a's and p's in there?

*grabs microphone out of Narf's hand and runs away*

[narf poit chez BOOM]

*runs after fyron with a hammer held behind his head*

[Jack Simth]

Hmm, if Fyron's running and Narf's chasing, then Fyron isn't at his computer ... and neither is Narf ....

Starfury got mentioned in Computer Gaming World! It was just a 2 paragraph blurb on page 54 in their "Outta Sight" article, but hey, it's something! (outta sight as in, "thing's you haven't seen") So, will I get in trouble if I quote the article? Surely not... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

"SPREAD THE WORD: In the swirling maelstrom of compuer gaming trends, few markets remain as staid as the 4x genre. Developer Malfador Machinations knows this; it has struck gold four times over with the cult classic Space Empires series. In it's latest incarnation, the franchise boldly ventures into unknown territory: an RPG. Rather than control entire galaxies, as in previous installments, interstellar conquistadores command a lone ship, pursing (editor's note: their typo, not mine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) the path of pirate, merchant, or mercenary. Is this the next Freelancer?
"BEST UNHEARD: In space, no one can hear you squeal with girlish delight. Sold only Online in Shrapnel Games' virtual store, the unwashed masses could easily overlook this sweet-looking game. Return customers might not appreciate the change of pace either...look what a sweeping makeover did for Master of Orion 3. As the game is still in beta stage, it's too soon to tell if Starfury will wind up rocketing to success or suck like a black hole."
