Recent UpdatesApr 11th 2010
Ok, so its been a while since I last updated this. Nothing has changed much, the server has just one active player (RINCEWIND) and it appears that the Admins have disappeared. The other SE servers are still offline and cant be found. Ive lost all contact with the devs as well.

Mainly, this update is due to the fact that Imperial is now being hosted on a new server and there were some complications along the way. However, the site should be fully working once more. If there are any errors, feel free to drop me a message in-game.

Solar Empire ServersNov 27th 2009
I've just noticed that ALL of the older Solar Empire and Quantum Star servers dont seem to exist anymore...what happened? EW has gone, SolarEmpire.com has gone, granted loads of the others had already disappeared. Does anyone know where/if there are any other SE Servers out there? Someone was advertising a new QSSE server on the in-game forums the other day. Oh and the Astrum Futura site is also down... Looks like a grim time for the Solar Empire network

UpdateNov 12th 2009
Hey to everyone still at Imperial, though this is definately not that many people. Activity has unfortunately fallen a hell of a lot. My personal activity has also diminished which im sorry for. I have no immediate plans for the server so it will remain operational for the time being.

Server StatusApr 10th 2009
Hey all, im sure you are very much aware that Imperial is slowly but surely dying out. The player base is all but extinct now, though the Admins, both Cain and Singapore, are being persistent in their efforts. For this I thank them, and to those who still wish for to play on Imperial have fun.

My intentions for the server at the present time are for it to remain active and available regardless of the player base. Hopefully the dust wont settle just yet, but id just like to say thanks for everyone who has been a part of the site during its brief life and that the past 5 years have certainly taught me a lot. Happy gaming :)

Merry Christmas!Dec 25th 2008
Merry Christmas everyone. I guess a news post should be made since its been a while. Hope everyone has a good day and gets everything they want for Christmas; if i had my way, it would be the new Intel Processor, but apparently its too expensive ;) Happy Holidays players!

DomainOct 29th 2008
Just to let you all know that Imperials domain (imperial-empire-se.com) is being transfered to a different host. So if there are any problems, give it 24 hours and they should be sorted :) In the mean time, happy gaming

IdeaSep 20th 2008
Well, ive come up with an idea for an alternative gameplay style. For one, im working on creating a half decent AI, but this is taking a while due to the complexity of the script.

The main thing i was thinking about considering was the way that people buy ships. Now, there is a variety of ships that can be purchased then upgraded afterwards individually. As well as this, the Admin can add new custom ships, so the variety is potetentially limitless. But despite this it seems a little stale at times. So how about you, as the players, design your own ships for your own personal use? The idea is that, chasis are provided by the Admin and the game in general. You then get to pick from a list of upgrades that determines how the ship will be used; weapons (new attack system, that should work EVEN BETTER), shields, power, engines, mining etc. All these upgrades, of which im counting on producing many more than are currently available, will be at your disposal to then upgrade the 'slots' on your chassis.

Now I know what your thinking; "Am I gonna have to do this for every damn ship i make?". and the answer is no. You will be able to save the ship design which will be only available to you (other players would be able to replicate the same design obviously, but if you think of it first then you have it first). Now these would be designs, hence you wouldnt have actually bought it yet and with all these upgrades etc an algorithm will let you know how much the ship would cost to be produced. You can then mass produce any design you like. If you find at some stage your design doesnt work too well, or you want to make an upgrade, you wont have to destroy your entire fleet and start over with a new design. You could simply edit your current design, and it will give you a price to update EVERY ship that the design currently applies to. Simple huh? Note that this wont be a permanent change, it would be set as a variable for the admins to change at will.

Just a little foot note, if anyone bothered to read this, let me know - either PM in game, or email etc

Ok, well that was quick. The server has been changed over and Imperial is online :) We were down for about 20 mins max

Webhosting DevelopmentsJun 4th 2008
Well, that went pretty well. Imperial is going to be transfered back over to its original host. ElitePalaces (the current hosting) was previously owned by a family member of a friend, but was sold on. So now the site is going to be transfered to that family members new company. If the site is down, it shouldnt be down for much more than 24 hours as its just the DNS servers re-routing the traffic. Ill post an advanced warning of when it will take place.
