STARFIRE is an original game of starship combat and interstellar empire building. Originally written by Steve Cole in 1976, the game system was expanded in the 1980's and 1990's and based on the books by David Weber. In 2000 GALACTIC STARFIRE was released, which has evolved into the current ULTRA STARFIRE edition.
STARFIRE's unique combat system allows players to build their own fleets of starships and annihilate those fleets in only a few hours play time. Fans of 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) games will enjoy that STARFIRE has a campaign system that allows you to build an alien empire, control every facet of its development, and attempt to conquer a galaxy full of players and/or non-players alike.
Take a look at our Introduction to STARFIRE for a more detailed look at the STARFIRE game system, check out the Downloads Page for free files, or head over to our Ordering Page if you want to see what products are currently available.
When I got home today I noticed that the community forum was down. I tried to contact the provider, but they apparently knew about the problem server(s) and fixed it before I was able to reach anyone. I have no idea how long it was down.
If there are any lasting problems (someone can't log in, or something) please let me know and I will investigate. Thanks!
For those who don't know, I'm in my last year (and change) of finishing my BS in Computer Science. This term I started our capstone project and due to scheduling, speed bumps with my group, in addition to the many projects I have lined up...I've been a little bit swamped.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I didn't get hit by falling space shuttle debris. I am just about to hit midterms and just pulled an 'all-nighter' to finish a milestone. This will likely continue through the next week before letting up for 4 more weeks. I'm sure most of you know how this routine works!
Don't fret, after mid-terms I'll post more to the forums and I'm working on getting the finishing touches on part 4. Due to length I am also extending the Sierra-Two-Two story by one more part before moving on to the next story. Hang tight, more things are coming soon.
Questions, suggestions, and Capital Missiles can all be aimed at this forum post. I will keep up on that topic at least.
Just a quick note, around 1500 this afternoon I'm going to backup the database and add one quick mod to try and add an email log. I'm hoping that if issues happen in the future the log can let me know so we won't go 2 or 3 days before we find out.
The forum work should only take about 5-10 minutes. Thanks!
I have authorized new users that have applied over the last 48 hours, after discovering that the email stopped working again.
I switched to yet another email method and hopefully this one will work indefinitely. It is a last resort but it is supposed to be the most reliable. The downside is that it may be a little slower then normal.
For the new users, sorry if you didn't get the email, and anyone who emailed me, webmaster, or Marvin over the last 48 hours should probably email again. I apologize for the problem! Hopefully this will be the last we hear of it.
Yesterday I posted the third part of the Sierra Two Two story...but it is the unedited copy. Unfortunately my original editor is busy, and my new editor was too busy to work on it yesterday. So I have posted the story in its original copy.
Expect some minor changes after my new editor gets the job done!
