Re: SE:V Poll
 

He wasn't suggesting moving the archived information. He said if you want to visit a forum that is devoted to SEIV and only SEIV, there are places you can go for that already, that don't require change here. As was already noted, this was a plug on Fyron's part; although on the subtlety part, I think it has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the skull, but that's just me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: SE:V Poll
 

You're right, that would be a great way to do it. It would give you a vague idea of the makeup of the system and let you know where to send scouts, but still maintain the foggy nature.

Re: SE:V Poll
 

what I like about the SE forums at Shrapnel, is that the decent folk here dont participate in mudslinging. Especially after cooler heads have defused the issue...

Re: SE:V Poll
 

You are correct. I apologize.

I voted for the second option on each when I voted on the poll, but after spending more time with the demo I'm growing more and more tempted to do the pre-order thing.

Re: SE:V Poll
 

How do you see the results of the poll? Am I missing somethign really basic here?

THanks!

In other words what "they" are saying is "Love the idea, sounds great, but needs a good deal more polishing before I plunk down my money"

I have to say from all of my readings here I am moving towards this camp - and I really don't want to. But I am growing more and more concerned about what I will be getting for my $. I've had SEIV since it came out, never played the series before that. Very impressive, great support - but I am very concerned about the comments from some of the longer-time players who I understand to be saying that the UI is dodgy, etc. I have little doubt about the richness of the game under the hood - but if it is a click-fest and hard to work with, then that diminishes it overall from my perspective. But I haven't been able to successfully download the demo yet, so I am depending wholly on what I read.

Re: SE:V Poll
 

The UI took some getting used to since I've had my face buried in the SEIV UI for 6 years. Once I figured out how to customize it, I LOVE it. I love the little flags over the 3d objects (once I made them smaller).

Now that I am used to the interface, I've tried playing a game of SEIV and SEV is clearly better imho.

I'd get it downloaded, expect a bit of a learning curve, then decide for yourself. Some of the screaming and crying here has been way out of proportion to the actual difficulty of 1. learning the new UI and 2. customizing the UI. Upgrades could be made to it, but its not as bad as people have made it out to be, so you'll have to see for yourself.

Re: SE:V Poll
 

I'll be taking a "wait and see" attitude with SEV. The demo's not bad, but it's not drawing me in the way SEIV did at first. Of course, SEIV was really the first 4x space game I had really ever played, so there was a whole "newness" to the experience that isn't present with the SEV demo for me.

I'm sure I'll buy it eventually, but I'm not in any rush.
