Re: SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2
 

Ok, semi intoxicated, didn't see an answer so.. This poll is biased towards players who are doing beta testing as there is no option for "I have neither played spacestarfury nor am I in beta for SEV".

I.E. You speak of things the vast majority of us know nothing of.

On the other hand.. Played a bit of SFB and I wholly approve of any online game that I pay next to nothing for including the best elements of SFB for me to play with.

On the other other hand..

Unless it crashes the game it's almost always impossible to get a large enough sample size for your beta to adequately involve all possible player opinions..

I.E. They almost always hate you or love you to such a degree that clear thinking upon beta tester opinions is near impossible due to the extreme opinions generated.

There is different, there is different which broke the game and there is different which changed the parameters of the game, made folks think and in the end changed the paradigm people were used to in their game but rapidly got used to in the new settings..

Being not a beta tester, I await

I spoke of nothing. All I did was ask a simple question based off of the interview and previous screenshots. There is nothing in the poll at all related to beta testing. If I want to poll beta testers, I will do so in the appropriate place. I did not ask how it plays, I asked what you think of what you see.

As I read it, you did exactly as you have said you have done. Your poll is based off of information that Aaron himself has made public. Any one saying you are violating the Beta NDA is mistaken in my opinion. Good poll by the way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Could it be that the features list in Malfador's site says so? Or could it be the screenshots?

And then there is the recent interview already cited.

There are several 'fun' things about designing ships this way, but this is not like Starfury in one respect. You cannot change your shipset. Whatever set you choose at the game setup is what you are stuck with for the whole game.

Well, in that case, my opinion is: Slots are a great addition if they are well-implemented. But that really says nothing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ok, that's scary. But it shouldn't be too hard to mod the pics.
