What do you think of the game?

[Spectarofdeath]

So just want to know what everyones thinking of the game so far. I like it. Just wish the patches would start flying out. Not to mention the mods.

I'm enjoying the game a lot more recently as finally such dedicated patching is addressing many items that were sort of put on the backburner for a bit.

The first patch is due on the 16th!

You can try the Balance Mod, info and download here:

I quite like it, actually. It grows on me the more I play. I really, really like the way ships act in tactical combat under computer control. I really feel like I can trust them to stay out of danger and make good use of their movement and weapon ranges. Also, with the Kwok patch the AI is far more aggressive.

The interface is growing on me, too. Overall I think with the fixes that are promised the game will be excellent. I think the majority of people who are pissing and moaning aren't giving the game concept and execution a chance, warts and all. Just my $0.02.

When all the features work and the A.I is better.SEV will be the best 4X game on the market.

I’m still not happy with it and I didn’t plan to pick it up until the patches addressed some of the issues. Then I read an argument that went something like this:

When the earlier versions of SE came out didn’t you by them buggy and all?

Why yes I did, when SE3 and SE4 came out I was one of the first in line. Even with all the flaws I accepted it and played till the patches brought it up to speed. So I bought the darn thing and every time I start getting frustrated with the bugs I look at the art on the box and sip some coffee or tea.

By the way Captain Kwok your mod is excellent, my two older children and I have a game running in our spare time.

I have been impressed despite some bugs I have had, oh and getting use to the new research system "Ten levels of Space yards before I can put them on bases "

I am so very sorry that you have chosen to flippantly dismiss my observations (and those of others) as "pissing and moaning."

I kind of thought this forum was one where we respected each others' opinions, agreed to disagree and left it at that.

If only there was some sort of mod that fixed stuff like that...

I think the game is still quite rough, but it it making great progress.
