no, thats uneducated marketing fluff. the news is that combat will be real time, but in multiplayer it will all be strategic combat that relies on your ship / fleet strategies.

just like now, except the single player combat will be real time (pauseable, i think).

I intend to be playing Wierd Worlds, SotS, and GC2 to hold me over. I see that MOO3 is now available for about 10 bucks, and there is a forum thread here talking about some official and unofficial mods and patches that make it into a good game.

I also plan to play X3: Reunion, when it comes out. and honestly, im not bored of SE4 yet. I might have time to get in another PBW game, soon.

Im happy to wait, as long as it means that it will be a good game. there are plenty of lesser games that will burn through my tiny shreds of free time, until Malfador delivers us the game to end all games.
