SE5 Is it going to happen?

dont forget that mechanics are already in work and the ground for future SE5 rendering system would be laid in SE:SF. Game concept would be another question though - i have no doubts that Aaron will make SE5 as different as was SEIV when compared to SEIII. Same, but at the same time much different game.

I think it'd be cool to link players in both starfury and SE4 making some kind of way to play out battles like that, maybe not. I'm insane.

My Question is what sort of computer speed will they need? low end? 166+? SE4 runs on my 200 now and I can not afford to replace it yet

I seriously doubt SE5 will be out in 2004.
AFAIK MM is still a relatively small company, and depending on how different the SE5 gamelogic will be from SE4 (re-useability of the code), i'd think it could take more then 2 years development time.

Mottlee, not a good position to be in.

And unfortunately you are not alone.

This may be a good time to start putting a couple of sawbucks a month into the "do not touch, I'll chop off your hands if you do, computer fund."

[humor] I tried that once. Now I have to type with my nose.[/humor]

Sorry I had to say that.

If SEV is going to use rendered (not pre-rendered) graphics for ships, I think you may need to upgrade your computer. Or at least your video card.

2005 sounds reasonable, but I agree with Capt. Kwok, I wouldn't mind if it came out sooner
