Starfury: Refitted and Ready to Leave Spacedock!
Latest patch adds several new features!
Cary, NC, 27 January 2004
Shrapnel Games and Malfador Machinations would like to announce that Space Empires: Starfury has undergone another refit, resulting in a new patch. This latest patch brings Starfury up to version 1.15 and is available for download at http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d10651.htm
The first patch brought Starfury to version 1.08, and in between that patch and this current patch there were a number of bugs squashed, and elements of the game enhanced.
Additionally, several new features were added to the game, three of which are worth examining in detail.
By far one of the most interesting new features of Starfury is the fact that the CD is no longer needed to play the game. This is perfect for the gamer with the desk that looks like the aftermath of the Hiroshima bomb. No more searching through stacks of CDs when you have that desire to see new stars, meet exotic new species, and then blow their starships into atomic particles.
Two features that have often been requested by fans of the game are also now officially part of Space Empire: Starfury. The first feature adds an inner-system waypoint to make navigation in the systems somewhat easier. The second feature adds a visual reference to off-screen starships, similar to the idea of a padlock in a flight sim, and allows the player to have full situational awareness.
Space Empires: Starfury is the latest entry in Space Empires; Malfador Machinations' award-winning line of galactic conquest games. Unlike previous games in the series Starfury puts the player into the captain's chair, as opposed to supreme planetary ruler.
As a starship captain the players are free to explore the Space Empires universe and experience it from a perspective never before seen. Like all Malfador Machinations products, Space Empires: Starfury is extremely mod friendly, allowing users to customize the game as they see fit, such as adding a Miranda light cruiser from the Star Trek universe into the game (
