Man The BUGS are Abound

What I enjoy most about this game is that it is a lot of fun when the action comes. Sure having more missions to do and what not would be great, a multiplayer element would have been fricking awesome, (SF2) and an expansion pack would have been greatly received by fans. This is just a great example of a small pc game designer making a good game. Your lucky you have someone to play with, the best I can do these days are a couple of 10 year olds trying to get 5 year old computers to run modern games... lag doesn't even begin to describe the cross OS networking issues and crash fests that have ensued. They love to send message to each other about what they can do if their peace offers. LOL.

I play in windowed mode so I can have the #spaceempires IRC channel visible

Nothing like having an audience to tell your stories to as they happen.
Also makes the game harder, as you have to type quickly, or during quiet runs across a system. And definitely try to avoid following the bad advice from the back seat captains

Aaron really should consider an expansion pack for this game, or make a new version.

If you could port an SE5 save game into a Star Fury game, that would be very exciting!

Yea an expansion pack or new version would be really cool. Definately multi-player would bring this game to a whole new level. I have come up with a lot of modifications to my mod that I have thought up myself. I am sure I am not the first though such as escort destroyers, Planets that fire back with ground defenses, exploding planets and asteroids after taking enough wep damage. I will probably not implement all of this in my mod as it takes time to configure all planets and what not but just key strategic ones.

I kind of have fun blasting the asteroids to dust insteading of dodging them all the time.

Multiplayer would make this a damn find game in my humble opinion.

A nice large patch to bring the grapics up to se5 and fix some of the larger bugs that are left would be sweet. Also improving the physics would be great(se5 needs that too).
