You're right, though the frigate doesn't have a lot of anything by the look of it.

Frigates are small, but not useless small.

The author of the article seemed to mix up some things but the screenshots are great! I was almost about to click on the buttons on the screens, forgetting that they are screenshots.

Very nice system map with the angled hex map. It will be nice if you could change the view angle because the hexes on the far side might be hard to mee clearly. Tactical combat screen looks exciting, though I couldn't figure out what's happening with all those lines and round symbols on the screen. I like the ship design screen and the ability to place components in different locations on the ship.

The Eee look different and more evil now, but I like their new look. In the quick start screen, I guess some races show a ship and some races show the race portrait?

Big mouse cursor? Oh, that thing that looks like a spaceship! Agreed, it's too big.

Anyway, the screenshots look wonderful!

Release date is February next year? OK, I'll wait...

Presumably the cursor will be in a .bmp file like in SE4 and Starfury, so you can mod it to your heart's content

The "Terran" ships though... don't they remind you of the missile-boat style Human ships from MOO3?

You can change the view angle.

I thought the cursor looked like an x-mas light. First thing that I need to change, if it's still the same when it's released that is.
