Default No SE5 news ?

I'm rather amazed that for this game, awaited since 2 yeras and now announced for June I can fiond absolutely no news since end of 2006, except some Capt Kwok's kind but vague answers to posts on the SFI forum.
The game isn't even present in SFI "soon to be released" page, and Malfador site wasn't updated since 3 months except for a SE4Deluxe patch !
And the SFI SE4/5 forum is even less active than this one...

Well, let's wait...

That aside, I wouldn't know.

You must have missed the addition of "Some of the improvements over SE4" to the SE5 site relatively recently.

Doh, I've a problem with dates !
I meant "no news since end of 2005" obviously, and here we're used to read 02/12 as "2nd of December", so I thought the latest update was from Dec 2005 with a typo on the year...
Well there has been something more than 2 months ago, not really hype

A fair number of the folks around here are on the beta-testing squad of robot pirate ninja cue-cappas. They can't really talk, due to the non-disclosure agreement, but it seems that a summer 2006 release is still probable.

The "SE5 Demo Download Page" link on that page gets me every time...

My guess:
The next news we are likely to get is that the release has been delayed until early fall.

Then, it will be released just in time for the Christmas season.

If there was any competition in the 4x crowd, SE5 wouldn't stand a chance by the time its released. But there isn't, not really, so we wait for the release.

Its really just one guy writing the whole thing, so his time is better spent on the product then marketing it...

I guess you've never heard of Galactic Civilizations II, huh? I get the impression it is doing reasonably well....
