I'll release the companion before so that anyone who are like me IRC incomptent can access the chat.
Everything is predefined so it should be just to press ok a few times and start chatting.

I'll be there!

Question: Hotkeys? Please?

Spoo · #8 August 5th, 2004, 04:26 AM

I don't think I can make it, but I've got a few questions:

1) What will be the maximum number of ships per empire? Will we still be able to create 400 ship fleets? [edit: answered]

2) Will ships be movable in 3 dimensions, or only two like in Starfury? [edit: answered]

3) Can we expect any new stellar manipulations? (planet moving, galaxy destroying doomsday device, more terraforming options - change ice worlds into rock, change planet size, etc.)

Puke · #9 August 5th, 2004, 08:35 AM

- any more controll of a ships position in formation? i.e. which ship is read as 1, 2, 3, etc.

- any non-wormhole movement between systems? built-in jump or warp drives? ability to plot a vector across the strategic map?

- any chance to move away from pre-defined hull types (see the suggestions thread)? where ship construction tech improves the mass

t ratio, and there is a constant mass

opulsion formula, with better propulsion systems providing more thrust to move the larger mass...

- any details on the planned diplomacy model?

- if Aaron ever has a free minute to spend with the fans, I'm in the city and will buy him a pint of his choice some night.

I have a question, but Atrocities says I should not ask it, so I won't. Since this is his computer I will wait until FRIDAY THE 13th to ask it.

Oh the hell with it, he can shoot me later.

Can I have a FREE copy of the game?

Seriously, what can we except in the way of marketing, design, game play, system requirements, etc.

Will the game have the same look and feel as SEIV, or will it be as differant from SEIV as SEIV was from SEIII? (A Duh question, but I am just curious.)
