Geo, I don't think Aaron means SE:V will be real time, but rather the graphics (like planets etc) will be 'rendered' in real time (texturemapping etc.) as opposed to pre-rendered bitmaps!!

I hope this helps to settle your nerves! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

And yes, the info we've been getting in the beta forum seems to indicate that SE V will only have real time combat, not real time game play.

SEV will be open to new beta testers, right? I would hope Aaron would try to get some new blood. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I like the looks of Star Fury.

I'm really excited about SE:V, especially with the real-time rendering - drooling about ships - but hopefully remaining turn based!

Is this an Online game with a persistent universe, where you pay a monthly subscription fee to play? This question came up in one of the other threads.

Sounds like the answer is no, right?

What Arkcon said: ditto.

Re: An Interview with Aaron..
 

As multiplayer is "time permitting", the answer can only be "no". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Q: Will Starfury have multiplayer ability?

Aaron: Time Permitting.

Kamog,
It appears the answer is no. They have not designed for or committed to multiplayer. The larger task of a persistent universe would depend in part on the multiplayer links (coding).
