SJ, shame on you! Trying to give stuff away without actually giving stuff away!

Thanks for the info.

Now, I know beta testers aren't allowed to say anything about SEV, but are you allowed to NOT say something if it doesn't exist? I mean, all those possible features mentioned in Captain Kwok's list, if you happen to know that SEV is not going to have one of those features, you can quietly remove the item from the list, right? NOT saying something isn't against the rules is it?

We really can't say anything one way or the other...

I have no problem waiting for this game to be finished. If it takes till the fall so be it. But I'd like to know where things are going. I don't think it is to much to ask what features are going to be in the game. Even if something is taken out I would like to know. It just feels like there is a big disconnect.

You know I keep a list of purported features for SE:V at my site, and since I'm a tester, it might even be a little biased...

Your list is extremely interesting Captain Kwok and if most of these features are realized, SE V will be a fantastic game!
IIRC the first version of SE IV had some serious bugs, that made me return to SE III until the first patch was released. IMO it is better to wait longer and get the best game possible. So my choice would be that MM works on the game rather than publishing preliminary infos.

Hopefully he does not do as other (not-to-be named) publishers do - release the game / software in a form that has enough functionality to go to a web site and download the first "patch".

Of course, that would shorten the wait time by months

No, never.

We have always had to get the patch using our browsers.

Give the guy a break. He's one man. He's always gotten it done.
