I called Interstel about two weeks ago to ask. I got the receptionist
whom I directed the question at. She only took about 1 minute 45 secs to
find out from a higher up that << Empire v3.0 >> and << EMPIRE II >>
are in a holding pattern around Mars. I thought I remembered her saying
something about a third title being created or out the door already
(currently Interstel makes << Star Fleet I >> and << Empire v2.05c >>).
She could not give me a date for the next release or any more
useful info so I said bye-bye.

Could someone at Interstel tell us more please.
