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.
PracticalM was kind enough to build a help file for the ULTRA-updated version of Marvin's Spreadsheets we put on the downloads a few days ago. You can either grab the help file from the link in the spreadsheet download's description, or from this link here.
PracticalM has updated Marvin's GG ELITE spreadsheets for the ULTRA ruleset! Available here on the ULTRA section of the downloads, these sheets help deal with the record-keeping for playing an ULTRA campaign.
Marvin has received the parts to fix his work computer. He is extremely busy this weekend, but he says that he will fulfill all the outstanding orders by Monday. Let the ordering commence!
If you want to make an order, or have any further questions about your order, send an email to orders@starfiredesign.com.
The final chapter of the Sierra Two Two story, Chapter 6, has finally been posted here! This is the ending of the first short story in the TSU history, and the next story will take place a few years later on the other side of the TSU empire.
The next story is "The Rock of Fire" and a teaser will be posted soon. The next story will be different in that it will include ULTRA STARFIRE scenarios for the series of space battles that will occur in the story, and we will release a scenario for each chapter with space combat!
Marvin contacted me today, and asked to let everyone know that his work computer is inoperable and it will be at least a few days to order parts and fix it. Until then he will be unable to complete orders. He is aware that there were several orders outstanding from when he was on vacation, and he will take care of those orders as soon as his computer is repaired.
Marvin also changed his primary email address, and I have updated all of the links and email aliases for him on the website. If you emailed him at his comcast account or recently through his Starfire email, please email him again at marvin@starfiredesign.com.
