Looks like both larger system and larger tactical maps. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Very much larger system maps. I counted a radius of 12-14 on that hex grid (12 if you go in exactly a straight path out, only possible in 6 directions, 14 for the farthest edge that requires a little zig-zagging to get there from the center), compared to just 6 for SEIV.

I wonder if you can rotate the system maps...

Re: SEV Betatest...
 

Should be able to.

I think he said we could during one of the chats.

My website has a list of mentioned SE:V features here: http://www.captainkwok.net/se5info.html

1680 wide? omg, downsize man, I only tested it to 1600x1200.

lol, and now you know the downside of 'bleeding edge' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

It's a widescreen display (16x9, not 4x3). Its getting fairly common on laptops, at least the one I got. It's actually really sweet, because movies look good on it, and you can just plain see more... thing is some video games have less than optimal support for it.

...and I wonder if a top-down view will be available.

Looking at the pics on the site and a couple of notes:

1.) Maintenance on facilities

There aren't any currently, are there? Would make a resource limited game quite interesting.

2.) Asteroids - Occlusion
http://www.malfador.com/SE5scr006.htm
I guess that will replace "condition" allowing only certain size ships to pass through the sector? (Can you hide a fleet of smaller ships inside?)
