Re: SE:V Poll
I'm happy with the game as it stands, but I simply couldn't buy it in the state the demo is in... too many bugs. I'm hoping the really bad ones will be taken care of, though.
Some of the interface elements could use a change, too; when you click on a sector it really shouldn't auto-select all of them, and I'd greatly prefer the "click to select one, shift-click to toggle selection" method over the "click to toggle selection" that's currently in place... these are both pretty minor concerns though.
edit: Also, regarding a lot of the core gameplay changes... I'm pretty positive about them. A few of them actually are things I really wished were in SEIV:
- Fog of war. Space is a deep, dark place - even in a star system - and the idea of having to survey a system just seems right to me. I also like the strategic implications; no longer can you automatically detect every ship that's in the same system.
- Real-time combat. While I liked SEIV's turn-based combat, it was just too simple for my tastes... not having the ability to pre-empt enemy actions (eg. Jagged Alliance) results in a large 'gaminess' factor where you can dance out of weapon range while freely attacking.
Just my two cents.
