Official SE5 release date announced - September 12

[Karibu]

I have been out of things lately. Enlighten me. Can I see specs/preview of the game somewhere?

[Ed Kolis]

Ahh, sorry
Here's the official page with a feature list, system requirements, screenshots, and whatnot:

Note that one of the screenshots shows ground combat with hexes; that is a very old one - ground combat is now realtime just like space combat

Thanks for the link. However, it doesn't really tell anything about the game, except what you can see from the screenshots.

I keep a more detailed feature list along with some exclusive screenshoots of SE:V at my website:

The smallest time segment you can run auto-pause in is 1 second.

I asked it before but didnt see an answer.

Real quick for a tester or anyone else who knows:

Will you be able to play out the tactical battles in multiplayer TCP/IP games?

Thanks in advance!

It is simply that the turns are one millisecond long, with non-instant weapons and turning.

And the fact that all ships carry out their actions/orders at the same time, as opposed to "real" turn-based combat where you do one ship then the other.

It only seems that way because the turns are so short.
In reality the CPU can only deal with one ship at a time, and time steps have to be quantized in a finite computer.

You might say that even real life is turn based, with each turn being one planck time (5.4 x 10^-44 seconds) long. And that system works quite well
