View Poll Results: Which best defines your SE:V feelings based on the Demo?
SE:V is not ready to be sold. It needs a lot more work to be ready. Selling it now would do more harm than good for customer relations and hurt the overall success. I am willing to wait for a more refined product. 35 32.71%
SE:V should not be sold in its current state but could do ok on the market if released now. I'd still rather wait for a more refined game. 24 22.43%
SE:V could be sold now with moderate success. Based on Malfador's history of product support, patches will be issued. But I'm worried about the chances of improving the UI with patches. I'd wait to release. 32 29.91%
I'm pretty happy with the current state of SE:V. Based on the Demo, it should be sold soon. If patches are released or not, it's a pretty good game. I'm anxious to get the game soon, release it now. 12 11.21%
I think the game is good as it stands. I think the issues being raised are minor and can pretty easily be addressed in game as it stands. Most games have minor issues and I'm not complaining. Send it out! 3 2.80%
I am completely satisfied with SE:V based on the demo. I don't care if patches are ever released. I don't think the issues being raised by a small number of people represent the silent majority of potential customers. I am very anxious to get this game 1 0.93%

Default Re: SE:V Poll

I want the game released ASAP, because I'm enjoying it enough in its current state that if it was out I'd probably never play SEIV again. I just want it fully unlocked.

I'm 100% sure that Aaron will continue to support it with patches and/or expansions until at least whenever SEVI comes out.

I'm also 100% sure that we'll soon see the equivalent of the TDM modpack (which is pretty much the starting point for my "house rules" mod anyway).

I honestly don't care about the graphics, and the UI may not be perfect but I'm still having fun...

I think the new combat system is highly superior to SEIV because it eliminates the gaminess of a square grid and "floats" (no corners in space).

I think the "fog of war" on the system map is a great improvement to the operational level, and if the system size really can be modded to be significantly larger then there is a potential for a real search phase of naval battles (with an important role for fast cheap recon units, etc..).

I could go on, but in general the changes to the meat of the game (not graphics or UI) are mostly improvements. It will get better, as SEIV did for 6 years, but I'd rather play it than SEIV now. That's why if I could pop out to Gamestop tonight & bring it home, I would.
