Re: Checked out Malfador\'s site yet??
Oh you can bet that the beta testers won't let Aaron make SE5 a RTS game.  There is a whole world out there outside of RTS (Warcraft, Starcraft, etc. are "RTS", a specific (and small) chunk of what real time games can be). |

Real time 3d graphics means the computer is doing the rendering as you play. As opposed to say SE4 shipsets where all the rendering is done ahead of time.
There is 0 reason they couldn't be used in a turn-based system; they already have been many times. The recent attempt to do an updated Version of X-COM uses the Quake 2 engine for example, and it runs pretty much the same as normal X-com. So does the excellent Silent Storm.

Re: Checked out Malfador\'s site yet??
I am not sure, but I think this will drastically change the way ships sets are made. I believe, and I could be wrong, that now you must have a wire frame model of your ship and a "skin" to go over it.
Look at BOTF and how they did it.
I hope this is not the case.

I don't think so Atrocities.
It's going to be the same as Star Fury.
