"Both the System View and the Tactical Combat view in SE5 will be in real-time rendered 3D"

This could be read a couple ways. One, SEV will be real-time. Two, SE5 will used on-the-fly rendering and not pre-rendered models. I'm hoping the later.

Wow, I was just kidding around about the secrecy involving the "Harvester" race in MOO3, and look what I get!
I'll laugh myself into unconsciousness if they turn out to be named "Malfadoreans"...

And yes, the info we've been getting in the beta forum seems to indicate that SE V will only have real time combat, not real time game play.

SEV will be open to new beta testers, right? I would hope Aaron would try to get some new blood.

I like the looks of Star Fury.

I'm really excited about SE:V, especially with the real-time rendering - drooling about ships - but hopefully remaining turn based!

Is this an Online game with a persistent universe, where you pay a monthly subscription fee to play? This question came up in one of the other threads.

Sounds like the answer is no, right?

As multiplayer is "time permitting", the answer can only be "no".

Q: Will Starfury have multiplayer ability?

Aaron: Time Permitting.

Kamog,
It appears the answer is no. They have not designed for or committed to multiplayer. The larger task of a persistent universe would depend in part on the multiplayer links (coding).
