SE5: Renforcements..have arrived.
 

Fun little bit with the combat simulator:

I'm sure everyone's noticed you can stop it at any time, and that damage carries over to the next sim, right?

The stop button isn't actually a stop button. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Its a "pause" button. If you want you can stop the battle mid-stream, re-position the ships, add renforcements, remova ships, whatever. Quite handy.

For whatever reason, I never used the combat sim in SE4, but I'm loving it in SE5 demo. I go with the ALLTECH cheat, then design a bunch of different ships and let them go at it to test strategies.

One dreadnaught with direct fire weapons, plows through anything less than 8 destroyers, yikes!

Remind me not to overwrite the demo with the game so I can keep doing the simulator runs with that great advice, Ron.

Will the SEV full version not have the ability to do the same combat simulations as the demo version? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Eh? Why would you think that?

Re: SE5: Renforcements..have arrived.
 

I meant using the cheat codes... I heard they won't be in the game?

Re: SE5: Renforcements..have arrived.
 

You can turn off cheat codes as in SE:IV.
