I've noticed a couple of recent inquiries posted regarding my new scenario EMPIRE 3: ENDGAME. Instead of replying to individual members, I've decided on a more general post in case anyone else has similiar inquiries.

Apparently a couple of players are having difficulties defeating certain 'sentinels' (very powerful battlestations). If you are having similar problems, head to the Empire Trilogy website where I have just uploaded a small 'modifier' patch that lowers the shield strength of these sentinels and increases their shield recharge, making them more easy to defeat. I noticed another post regarding which faction is the most powerful. I'd suggest the Russian Consortium, but to get access to this faction's ships and tech you have to join up with The Weave. Check out the support documentation for a history of each faction; this might help you to choose a favourite. And should anyone have problems unstuffing, please ensure you are using the MOST RECENT version of Stuffit Expander.

Oh, and I see that all of my plug-ins (and their updaters!) have been uploaded by some kind soul to the EV Add-Ons section. Thanks to whoever did that; I use an older Macintosh that cannot handle JavaScript (I just get constant error messages when I click 'Submit File').

If you should discover any problems with any of my plugs, or should you have any comments or reviews please do not hesitate to contact me directly at islest@tnet.net. I really do value feedback.

NEXT UP: Episode 4, EMPIRE OF CRIME. For those of you who enjoy pirating, or just playing as a complete bastard, this will no doubt have great appeal Current status is early development; I'm still waiting for some pirate faction ships to be made...

That's it for now, thanks for your interest in my work.

Kindest Regards,

TIM
