"I'm starting to notice there's an interesting lean now against anybody not rampantly in favor of the new SEV game. "

I'd say opinion is about 50/50 but the beta-testers are weighing in with a greater knowledge of the game and what it's really capable of, in their opinions.

I uninstalled last night. I'm getting absolutely nothing from the demo that I don't get from Adamant (Fyron's mod, right? Nice work whoever!) except frustration. Playing the unlocked game may help but I have to see the UI improved first.

And I guess it's just possible this game is no longer right for me. Take away the 3D system view and the "improved" tactical battles, none of which I use, and while there's undoubtedly a deeper game potential I'm being held back from it by: the speed of strategic battle resolution which is a joke (and probably necessary because it's just running a tactical simulation without the fugly grafix) and the system display I'm having to constantly adjust.

Like the guy said a day back or so - I'm recloaking and going back into lurker mode.
