SE5 bad reviews and problems.

I disagree. The first sentence of Ron's post calling fright 'trash' was in response to his, in my opinion, over the top/derogatory remark about you and SJ. The rest of his post has to do with complaints by fright (and others, referenced as 'cronies') about SE5. If this kind of overt hostility is going to be written off as being a little too 'heated', or dismissed because it's a newbie being hostile and not someone with a large post count, than I doubt the much more frequent subtle negativity towards the people who aren't impressed by the current state of the game, will ever be acknowledged. In my opinion this is largely due to willful blindness.

So much imagined drama... Personally, I'd rather go back to discussing the game.

Wow this is starting to get (ahem) stressful. I think this is the point were I would try to crack some pointless joke that has little to do with the topic. However I doubt even my pointless and dry humor would work. How about this? Let’s all take a little of President Roslin’s advice… someone must be the first to let it go. I left this forum once over the hostile attitude of members. Those members are long gone now. The state of the board is very open and peaceful, but in this matter of who is right and is the game broken I see the starts of another cataclysm.

So, can we just let it go and get back on topic?

I tried Swiss cheese once, but my fingers got stuck in the holes. Still have nightmares about that one.

We all need the understand that no matter what we will always have those days where we say things that we normally wouldn't say. A drunk mans comments are a sober mans secrets may be the common belief, but trust me, they seldom are his reality.

Lets stop beating each other up over our varying levels of dissapointment and anger at the current state of SE V. We can all agree, I hope, that as time goes on the game will improve. Lets leave the past in the past and look toward the future. Otherwise, if the flames and rudeness continue, we may start to see thread being locked. That I do hope never occures, but it will if things continue to be aloud to spiral out of control.

Lets keep a focus on the positives shall we? The game is out, the first 4x game in years, and despite buggish set backs that we all know will be worked out, we at least have our game and its no Phantom Menance.

Be glad it was only your fingers!

You can't prove that ever happened!!! Did you hear it from that doctor at the ER? He's lying that was just my pinky!

That's exactly my point. Stop blaming US for what new people say. Give them a chance to have their rough edges polished off.
If the heat level is decreasing with time, things will probably end up all right.

OK, so, I spent a lot of time when SE5 first came out being dissappointed with, and griping about, the UI.

I see now that there are a bunch of patches out - and I'm willing to fire up the game again to give it a fair shake.

But before I get up the energy to do that I need to ask: has the UI been improved at all? My primary gripes with it revolved around not being able to see things on the main screen, and the tediousness of the ship design. Have these been addressed at all? I have read through much of the patch history but they're pretty sparse in their descriptions of what the UI changes have been.

Most of the other patch fixes sound great, but there are still some things that I didn't see there - but I am hopeful that MM is fixing them as well...the UI remains my main concern...

Thanks, for any info, in advance.
