Yay, ship size is conveyed visually properly! Look at how much BIGGER that space station is than the ships around it!

Edit: Just got to last screenshot. Judging by that screenshot, we can all stop worrying about too simplistic ground combat! It's ground combat in a hex grid!

This is sweet! I know what my favourite game is going to be... but that release date (Q4 2005)... I don't know if I can wait that long...

Yeah, the patch message is awesome.

Anyone else notice from the screenshots that facilities are now going to have a workforce? and maintenance! Realism!

And looking at the combat screenshot, it looks like combat won't be so detailed that we can't have tons of ships, but detailed enough to make me drool in anticipation!

Somehow I missed that. Hmm, I wonder if there will be facilities that reduce the maintenance cost of other facilities?

I hope the sliders in the research screen (and wherever else they're used) have click-and-drag functionality, or at least a decently high rate of change for click-and-hold on the arrows.

Woops, we have a typo. In the Q&A answer to question 3, "tergeted" is misspelled.

Edit: And another one, in question 4 "allready" should only have one l.

Take a look at the ground combat screenshot. It looks to me like we can manually place where we want our facilities and weapon platforms to be placed for optimal defensive positioning.
