SE5 screenshots ugly?

In fact it is so much the king of the hill that NO Game developer to date has even tried to topple it.

To be fair, no eveloper has tried to topple it because the potential market is so small that you can only make money in it as an independent.

I cannot argue you point about the market being small, but then again, its the small markets, or the nitch (sp) markets that make the games that last six years or more.

Heh, my PBW turns even in a massive galaxy with lots of players around turn 150 only takes me about 20 minutes. Far from unplayable indeed!

[Suicide Junkie]

Indeed.

Processing the massive battles involving hundreds of ships, thousands of fighters and tens of thousands of missiles does take multiple hours on an old 800Mhz PC in the corner.

But actually playing the turn dosen't take much time. Waiting for people to get home from work, wake up, or whatever to play their turn takes the most time.
