Re: Interesting news.....SE V
thread jacking dogs!
Did you guys catch that MM says there will definitly be an unlimited tech tree? Thats so great! Unlimited research possiblities! no hitting a tech ceiling!
in SE4, there was a definite advantage to taking combat bonuses. always, in every situation. unless you had a talisman, and then defense bonuses were still good. Now in SE5, you could pump all the extra points into research and so long as you had the time to develop, you could potentially come out and wipe the floor of the toughest empire with your technological advantages.
it also will create the possiblity for an arms race that continues into the late game. instead of getting to an acceptable level of quality and then just pumping out quantity, there will be a continual need to research and retrofit ships!
im so giddy.
