Looks good. However, I don't want SE5 to be anything like that. Such 3d designs limit the creation of new shipsets. As a long time fan (played SE2, SE3, etc) I believe that making SE5 similar to that is a BAD idea...

I wonder what the gameplay will look like.

Can you command fleets, multiple ships?
Could you build you own ships if you get a spaceyard component?
Could you build/buy space stations then?
What about the missions, there are mission to furthere the storyline, but are there also random missions, to escort a transport, or destroy a starbase for an empire?
Would it then be possible to create your own SE universe and play without the story missions?
Are the AI empires autonomous, eg not scripted, so that you can influence their development?

I don't think SE:Starfury is in any way connected to SE:V. Starfury is set in the SE universe, but that is where the connection ends. (I could be wrong!) I believe that SE:V will be just that, the next evolution of SE:IV I really don't think Aaron is planning to go the 3D ship-level route for SE:V. He might include a mix of 2D and 3D like displaying the systems and starmap in 3D while keeping the rest in 2D. I for one don't believe that a game 'has' to be one 'or' the other. Some aspects of the game are imho better suited for 2D while others can easilly fit well in 3D.

Starfury is looking great, and I also look forward to seeing SE:V. I'm sure Aaron is full of ideas and has a few tricks up his sleve.

Nuf said, Cheers!

I hope this is not a subscription game. But it looks like it is going to be.

What do you mean by "a subscription game"?
