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...

I think he looks more Japanese, and not just because of his face but because I swear that is a copy of a Japanese Admiral from WW2.

Two things I noticed, one is just me complaining. Why cant people spell ordinance.

Secondly did anyone happen to look closely at this screenie.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...ns.html?page=2

It says Races, could be nothing but its in a planet description so it might mean more then one occuptying race on a single planet. Also the Temperature, Gravity, and radiation bits sound awesome(look at pic)

What? Ordinance is a law or decree. Ordnance is weapon munitions. It is spelled correctly in the Gamespot screenshots.

You can have multiple races on a planet in SE4. What would be cool to see is multiple empires, but I don't see how that would really be useful...
