A greater role for storms and nebulae - does the programmer that is doing SE5 ever return his thoughts to this forum in terms of what is accepted and what isnt ?

This could be unrealistic, but could it be done by March 1, 2004?

Thanks

And given that it hasn't even started beta testing yet, IIRC, that's..quite unlikely. Hell, I'm not sure its even past the general idea stage and into code, he's been pretty busy with the SE4 and Starfury patches.

(Propably already in the thread but i'm too lazy to try finding... way too many Posts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Some suggestions about the decays...

1. Intel Projects:
- Change Counterintel to store all points in a single numeric "stack" with 5% decay per turn. CI2 will add to this 2 points per intel point spend on CI2-project, CI3 adds 3 points etc.

2. Minefields:
- Remove limit to the number of mines per sector and add 5% decay per turn.

Also and again, I _really_ want an option in simul game to load/drop/launch/recover specific number of specific units/cargo and _ALOT MORE THAN 10 PER CLICK_ http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
 
In most other commercial games, when you pop in the CD, the game will give you the option to play, install, uninstall, or visit the publisher's website. SE4 only runs the installer, which is very annoying if you want to use CD's other than the SE4 CD. Could you please put something in SE5 like in the other games? Maybe with a simple installation/mod selector program, since it's likely likely people would want to have multiple patched Versions and mods of SE5 on their hard drive like with SE4. I'd be willing to modify my SE4 mod selector to select from multiple SE5 installations and mods when the time comes, so you could use that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
 
Ed has a good point. Add things to the CD run menu.

List could include:

Image Library
Developers Notes
Art work
Se III (Complete)
AVI movies
Stories
