• Starfury to Not Get More Updates - 20:19, 22 October 2005 (GMT)
  

  
  When asked about the lack of updates for Starfury, Aaron told us that he hasn't "gotten many bugs reports in the last 6 months for Starfury. If you have new ones, please email me."
  
  

  "After SE5, we're starting work on Starfury 2. Unimplemented features will have to wait for Starfury 2. Talking to other ships really needs some voice acting. What Starfury 2 really needs is a campaign editor."]]>
• Strategy First Opens Forums - 18:37, 24 August 2005 (GMT)
  

  
  You can visit the new forums with the following link: Space Empires Universe Forums
  
  Interstingly, the setup of the forums is almost a direct copy of Shrapnel Game's SE4/5 forums, containing exactly the same subforum categories, though at least they added their own description text. Strategy First has apparently taken great pains to help the crossover of fans from the Shrapnel forums to the new SE forums at Strategy First. We here at SEnet believe that most of the current fans of SE will likely remain on the Shrapnel forums for some time to come, however.
  
  

  Strategy First also seems to have neglected to list the new Space Empires forums on their community page.]]>
