Don't count too heavily on the projected release date, no one really knows at this stage what the release date actually will be. It may be sooner, it may be later

True that release dates are always just projected, but when did a game ever get released sooner?

So, if not next February, maybe one year from now would seem likely.

It seems that the Eee aren't energy based any more.

Did the artist misread the brief or is there something deeper going on... new racial trait?

Well, I think the EEE have the ability to control energy but they are organic based life forms.

Good point.

I definitely remember the description saying that they thought the Drushocka's energy draining weapons were trying to eat them. Mostly because from that point on I imagined that all Eee thought like four year olds.

EDIT:The Eee are one of the more unusual races in the galaxy. Their bodies are composed of a translucent organic matter which easily conveys and directs energy fields. Much like a giant jellyfish, the Eee are not physically strong, though they have advanced energy manipulation capabilities. They surround themselves with energy bubbles which keep their form together and allow them to move through magnetic induction. Also, due to this energy bubble, the Eee have very long lifespans.

Alright, you win.

I don't really trusted reviews and I will never trust previews. So as the only people I would trust to say anything about SE:V (the fine beta testers drawn from this board) are under an NDA I'll just wait.

Oh and MightyPenguin as, I think, the Narf-O-Matic Zombie Mouse TM (patent pending) hasn't yet, I will:

"Hello and welcome to the forum."

The Cursor is being worked on, it's an old one that never got changed. I have made several new ones,.. Will be running them by the beta testers soon. Not to worry, prety much everything is modable.

Of course when I find/make the 'perfect' cursor, you'll have to say "I bought SE5 because I fell in love with the cursor." lol. After all, we all know a game's quinticential selling point is based on how the in game cursor looks.

You guys make me laugh, but I hear what you're saying.. the current cursor sucks. lol Rest assured that it is not yet in final form.

Cheers!

We need to talk about something. The article doesn't seem like anything worth talking about.

I've always prefered simple cursors, so they don't distract me from the game (or whatever I'm doing).

Cool!
edit: comments on screenshots

WHY is it all those status reports show Shields, Armor, and Damage, not Shields, Armor, and Hull? It's so confusing that two numbers go DOWN when the ship gets hit but one goes UP...

I like the Terran portrait... especially how he looks slightly Chinese... I think more 4X games should have Chinese Terrans, given that they're the most populous nation on the planet

Is it just my eyes or is "Drushocka" misspelled in the race description?

So the map CAN be zoomed and rotated... also, it looks like there's an option to play with hidden star systems? Interesting...

AACK! Please tell me those techs being researched are theoretical... if researching "Vehicle Weapons" gives ALL the weapons in the game...
