Galaxy Empire is still in the pre-alpha state. This engine is based on a server-client setup and is fully programmable through INI scripts. I am looking for developers to help the project along. Mainly needed at this time are content and tool developers. Or just stop by and give your ideas on what you would like to see. [Edited by - LancerSolurus on January 11, 2009 10:43:56 PM]

A major upgrade has been completed on the game. This includes a major bug fix caused by using double floats in Visual Studio that was causing alot of grief with the buying and selling of items in the markets.

Also completed are the commodity and equipment dealers. Each part is now fully functional allowing for full buying and selling of commodities and equipment.

Equipment mounting has been finished. This allows the ability to mount the equipment that you have purchased.

Within a week the bases will also be able to manufacture goods and equipment that the player can buy.

5 star systems have already been linked by jump gates with a total of 63 already scripted. It will feature many of the custom races and systems found in Solurus Systems MOD that I made for Freelancer.

And for the emails I keep getting, no, I do not use the Freelancer engine, this is my own game engine that I wrote from scratch. It may look similar but that is as far as it goes.

So if you wish to help, travel on over to the Galaxy Empire website and register. Or just simply download the autoupdater and play, I can always use testers to help find glitches...
