1. Where will be Monsters instead of Pirates (judging from Aaron's info). It will appear from nowhere, it'll eat your planet and vanish in eternal space (quite dramatic, eh?).

2. Unknown. Although trade model will be improved it won't be radically different from se4 model.

1. OOOOooh monsters

As long as they are done well then I will be happy to see em, if however they are done like Godzilla the American Version then

(gag)

2. I'd kind of like to see freighters play a part in it but I guess it's not absolutely necessary is it?

3. Okay new question, when is SEV expected to release I've heard anywhere from DECEMBER 2005!!!!!!!! to June 2005, anyone know which is more likely?

Malfador right now is shooting for Summer of 2005. Beta testing is supposed to start around January 2005 if all goes well.

Shameless plug.

I've started a collection of details about SE:V on my Space Empires Depot site (link below) - most of the items listed there are from Aaron's Posts or chat sessions and might be of interest if you've been out of the loop recently.

Here's a wacky question

It was stated in the chat, and reiterated in your list, that the game will be "Minimum 1024x768 resolution...Higher resolutions will be able to display more of the system map at once"

My question is : I don't suppose there will be support for multiple monitors? Alternately, if the game looks and acts more like windows, then will we be able to expand it to fill two, three or more monitors? SE V on my whole wall man! My wife will kill me of course, but, hey, might as well use all the monitors for something productive...err...

Thanks,

Alarik
