Perhaps not direct competition, but its a 4x game of sorts due to be released June 1st.

Yeah, I agree that the lack of news sux. This is my biggest beef with SEV. How about play tester notes. That would be cool.

Re: No SE5 news ?
 

Ya, I saw that. But there are too many things they left out that I want, like a lot more control over ships during combat and a whole lot more choice in weapons. They called their rock/paper/scissors - lasers/missles/guns. I want a bit more than that.

If SEV was not coming out, I'll look at Galciv. But SEV will come out, so I'll wait until then.

I'm sure Aaron would love to be inundated with e-mails about why feature-x was cut or why feature-y is being implemented. I think a couple dozen testers already make him crazy enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

Aaron's focus is on game development, not marketing. You would have to take the lack of news up with him. I however can point you to gamespot for some information if your looking for some. They ran a preview of the game some time ago. As with most games, news is often released in small amounts stretched out over many months. Really the info we have gotton is on parr with the industry standard for such things.
