AHHHH,StarFury ARRON HALL does it again, I wanna play the demo.
Aaron: Actually, Richard was correct in his post that its going to be similar to Privateer. In addition to following the story-element missions you are given, you can also go out on your own and perform jobs as a merchant, mercenary, or criminal.

"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.

Geo, I don't think Aaron means SE:V will be real time, but rather the graphics (like planets etc) will be 'rendered' in real time (texturemapping etc.) as opposed to pre-rendered bitmaps!!

I hope this helps to settle your nerves!

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.
