You guys are talking about heroes as if they existed at some point in the past.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
 

The 12th screenshot has crab-like troops in it, that probably means the game supports animated models (moving legs etc.) very nice.

On the other hand, I don't really like the square shape of the city/colony in ground combat. It blends in very badly with the surrounding landscape. Maybe the concrete pavement could be replaced by something that blends in a bit better, like a network of roads, or some more irregular shaped pavement with mountains etc in between.

I suppose all ground building models, textures, etc., will be moddable as well..?

Ground combat doesn't look overly good, but I think the crab-like thingies are neat. And it might all look a little better in real-time than on screenshots.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
 

Yeah, cool looking screenshots!

Bummer about the no heroes, though...

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
 

We hope to con Aarron into putting the hero's in later in an expansion pack or patch. Our fingers are crossed.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
 

heros are an outdated phenominon, as far as interstellar warfare is concerned. the most aggressive and heroic traits can be selectively taught, and those atributes that rely on genetics can be engineered or cloned. I expect that every ship in SE is crewed by heroes, and every fleet led by the best gods that modern (future) science can produce.

heros would be a good add for any wargame from the stoneage to the nuclear age, but beyond that it just dosent fit.

Not unless you haven't researched genetics!

I think heroes works great; it adds another small but interesting aspect to the gameplay, some "people actually exist in this universe, not just spaceships" feeling. MoO has benefitted nicely from it.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
 

Heck, we've "researched" genetics, and we're still a long long way from any semblance of directed genetic manipulation. Let alone GM humans.
