Default Re: Vote: Who is still playing SEV ?

Once in a while I'll play for a while, wishing the interface wasn't a clickfest. Wishing I didn't have to play detective to figure out why a fleet with overwhelming superiority turned and ran this time. Wishing something as SIMPLE as a 'Systems to Avoid' filter was available on the Planets List menu so the send colonizer button could be used to simplify at least one aspect of this game. Wishing it didn't take several seconds to pull up a menu in large games, and minutes to process a turn. Wishing the person who wrote the game actually played it, to have a better feel for the UI and game play in general.

Mostly, that addictive pull to play 'just one more turn' that was ever present in SEIV just does not exist in SEV. I usually just quit in frustration because once again a perfectly healthy and well supplied and ordinanced fleet turns tail and runs instead of flattening a nearly defenseless planet. Or I get tired of waiting on menus to pop up, or turns to process, or a stupid AI decision makes me realize I'm playing against one of the most retarded AI's ever produced for a game.

And I wait, and wonder IF the game will get much better, and how many more months that will take. If it wasn't for a handful of helpful people on this forum, and the modders, I would've uninstalled the game right after purchase.
