Wait, I have a question, if you were a beta tester didn't you already get a copy of the game? Or did you have to return it once you stepped down?

I just bought it. Review will no doubt be posted sometime.

If you hear a faint scream of agony, that's probably a 'No'.

I bought Se5 and I think it's a great game

1. It has more options then se4
2. It has realtime ship combat (no more shoot first you win)
3. It has a good ground combat (also realtime that you can SEE)
4. It will have a good A.I. (when it has all the bugs worked out that we found

)
5. It does have pretty graphics
6. And last but not least start practicing strategys for PBM

Buy it, wait until the next patch and the Balance Mod update that follows it, then play.

Each patch is making it noticeably better and they just keep coming, so I think the future looks bright.

I still( and probably always will) prefer SE IV's System View and UI, though. And it has a great 'feeling' to it that SE V doesn't give me. But the positive sides in SE V are soon enough to at the least even it out.

I presume he means that there aren't enough opponents as of yet for many games to be played.

I mean... should I buy SE5? Yes, but not yet.

Today I found this german review:
http://gameswelt.de/artikel/index.php?id=2237&page=1
The lower portion mentions an upcoming german version...

It will be localized? Sounds great...
Do you see this thumb up?

They classify SE5 "hardcore strategy" and ... not (yet) advisable for newcomers with a "short thread of patience". (Sounds like they are talking about me).

They'd probably say the same about SEIV, PTF. Keep that in mind. Most of the reviews that bash that aspect don't like the micromanagement aspect, rather than any inherent flaw in the game.
