SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot

Is it just an optical illusion, but the tactical combat looks like the ships are in 3-D positions and orientations. The combat happens on a 2-D plane with 3-D ship models, right? But it doesn't look like a 2-D plane. Anyway, it sure looks great.

Ack! It looks like I'll need to replace the .png with the .jpgs! You guys ate up almost 1 Gb of bandwidth!

Ships sometimes use 3d space for collision avoidance etc.

I noted they were PNG's. I wondered why they weren't jpg. I got a glance this morning, but then had to go to work. I assumed someone would tell you to, or perhaps change them themselves.

[Captain Kwok]

I actually just changed them to .jpgs - I had kept them as .png to give you guys all the colours you deserved but didn't expect this kind of response.

[RonGianti]

Wow, thanks Kwok!

No Heros though Thats too bad. Heros gave the universe a feel of.... something. Like it was inhabited by beings, not just ships.

[Raapys]

Agreed, sad to see heroes go. The more new things the better, especially when it comes with modding ability.

[Ed Kolis]

Hey, who says we can't mod heroes back in? Since abilities can have custom-defined scopes (if I'm reading the feature list correctly), perhaps we can have a Hero troop unit which gives special abilities to the ship or planet it is stationed on?

Looks nice apart from the ground combat,which looks very poor.

Actually so far the looks of the ground combat has surpassed my expectations and considering how it is in se4 this is quite the improvement.
