i like how the 3d asteroids in the system screen reflect the light from the sun on one side, and not on the other. actual lighting. nice.

I also like the link to Shrapnel Games on the main page. It may just be because there are unsold copies of SE4, SF, and DO, but I like to think its because the relationship is still amaciable and everyone is friends.

Who thinks Strategy First will be releasing news about SE5 on Monday, now that the new web page is online?

No offense too the site maker, but I dont like it
Especially with it being in html frames (which is a big no-no in the webdesign world these days)
You should of at least made the site in php using php includes for the things that appear on each page, which is extremely easy to do as you could still use html coding

Oh, but I love the screenshots, better than I imagined
Oh one thing, I thought research was being altered? It looks like it hasnt changed

And that 3d combat looks quite sneazy (sp?)
Us modders are going to have alot of fun with this game I imagine

Dead,
snazzy is the word you want
The graphics are quite good looking, in my opinion. If you look close at the ship to ship combat one, you can see some nice particle effects...
I wonder if the game will have AA and AF... (if not, just enable them with the driver util...)
