What? Where did you hear that SE5 was going to have 'Real-Time' Combat?

Aaron Hall has mentioned it numerous times... such as in the previous IRC chat sessions, the news page on malfador.com, the Yahoo email newsgroup, etc.

To Quote MM's news page,..

"..We've got big plans for this next Version including real-time 3D rendered graphics,.."

This is talking about the Starfury Engine being used in SE5, nowhere does it say "Real-Time Combat" I think this phrase is meant to inform you that the ships, planets etc will be 3D models as opposed to 2D bitmaps. I think you're jumping to the conclusions that "Real-time 3D rendered Graphics" is the same as "Real-time Combat".

I don't know what the combat 'mechanics' is going to be like in SE5, and I'm not going to make any assumptions.

Cheers!

P.S. I scanned through the MMChat transcript and only found two references to Real Time Combat and both instances were refering to 'other' products. Read the transcript again and see for yourself.
