Hey Richard, you have any sway on getting Aaron to make me a beta tester? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Wow, that looks really nice! Can't wait to put my hands on it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: SE:StarFury Screenshots!
 

Looks good. However, I don't want SE5 to be anything like that. Such 3d designs limit the creation of new shipsets. As a long time fan (played SE2, SE3, etc) I believe that making SE5 similar to that is a BAD idea...

Re: SE:StarFury Screenshots!
 

I wonder what the gameplay will look like.

Can you command fleets, multiple ships?
Could you build you own ships if you get a spaceyard component?
Could you build/buy space stations then?
What about the missions, there are mission to furthere the storyline, but are there also random missions, to escort a transport, or destroy a starbase for an empire?
Would it then be possible to create your own SE universe and play without the story missions?
Are the AI empires autonomous, eg not scripted, so that you can influence their development?

Re: SE:StarFury Screenshots!
 

I hope this is not a subscription game. But it looks like it is going to be.

Re: SE:StarFury Screenshots!
 

What do you mean by "a subscription game"?

Re: SE:StarFury Screenshots!
 

I dont know what subscription game means but I must admit to hoping that SEV would do a few 3d things, like the system and movement being portrayed in 3D, and maybe the ships to?

I still want message delays to be built in, ie it takes time from one of your ships sighting an enemy fleet for that message to get back to your homeworld so that you can issue new orders to a fleet etc but this is just one of my previous ongoing rants!!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You know pay to play. The game itself costs like $20 and you get 1-3 months free. After that it costs so much a month to play. There are several of these games out there right now. Such as EverQuest, Dark Space, Shattered Galaxy, etc. They have a persistent universe. The subscription is to provide funds for maintaining multiplayer servers and updates.
