The main idea is that the layouts be shaped like the ships, but also that your designs not be limited by a lack of slots.

(SE concerns itself with tonnage ratings)

Happy Birthday Atrocities!!!
I found a bug. Shift+Enter is suppose to toggle the system view, but it instead tries to start a combat simulator and then gives an Access Violation.

Yeah, I'm getting Access Violations left and right...when designing ships and when trying to use the simulators.

I haven't had time to do more than D-load the demo and quick start a game but oooh it's pretty! I really like the way systems look and are mouse spin/navigable.

Off to go really fiddle around!

So, I gather Aaron has a large brown dog that apparently made half the game (judging by how much screen time it gets in the credits)

I'm just getting a black screen when I try to run it.

EDIT: problem with neaudio.ax which is a Nero file. Took the recommendation off a google search to just rename the file (in Program Files under Ahead - your mileage may vary.) and I've at least got the menu now so everything looks like it's going to work. I like the intro music. Dark.

Haven't encountered any bugs so far, everything's smooth. However, for some reason, at turn 4 or so the end turn process went from taking about 4 seconds to over 15 seconds.

I've not gotten used to the new system view yet, it feels a bit awkward. Space combat looks and feels very nice, though.
