SEIV dying?

[javaslinger]

Just curious... The volume of Posts on this board had dropped way off. Richard has quit. No news of anything in the works has come for some time. Dungeon Oddessy appears to have flopped.

Is there a future for SE?

Thanks,

Ken

Yes there is. Posts always drop around this time, as ppl are busy with shopping/ visiting/ watching LOTR at the cinema.

A new patch is in the works and is due this or next month. MM is also said to be working on some Space Empires 3D combat thingummy which everyone thinks might turn into the combat engine for SE5.

So no, I don't think it's dead=-)

Even if MM and Shrapnel disappeared tomorrow, there would be planty of ppl playing and modding what we have now for a long time to come.

I agree that Posts has been dropping, hut as previusly stated. People do tend to have other things to do now.
Let's see how many Posts there will be dec 24 and 25. I don't think one can say that the forum is dying even though there propably will be very few Posts then.

Lots of people will be away from their computer for the holiday. Some people can only get Online at school. That's part of the drop.

People usually wait for the latest patch to do serious work on their mods and shipsets.

What I'm thinking is ... how many people will get a copy of SE4 for Christmas. Is SE4 the sort of game you suprise someone with?

If so, there will be tons of Posts soon of tihe topics "My colonies are empty", "Sphereworld components don't fit on my baseships", "How can I play Klingons"
