Hi.
No - sight of line does not matter.
But you must remember the time delay.
Turn 1: you send a message. (The turn before this).
Turn 2: I receive your message, read it and respond. (This turn).
Turn 3: You get my reply. (Next turn)

tHAT MY SHIPS CHANGE IS BECOURSE YOU HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED THE SHIPSET THAT i'M USING, SO THE GAME PICKS ONE AT (Darn, I hate that caps lock key) random instead.
On the Zeta Quadrant game page at PBW click on the link that is under my empire name, download that shipset and unpack it to your pictures/races directory in you SEIV game directory. It should then unpack itself in an own directory called Sweden or something like that. Then you'll see my ships in the full glory that they are meant to be seen.
There are many custom shipsets used in this game.

So, concerning the in-game message, it might just be very propable that I'm sitting here at my computer right now reading it... so You might look for an answer next turn.

Se Ya
