Hmmm... the screenshots imply that you can have a treaty with another empire, but exclude non-agression from certain systems. Lots of possibilities there. You could have non-agression in systems other than homeworld and immediately surrounding systems, or a truce on the front lines, but still attack if the enemy decides to push any farther...

Looking forward to it

Is it just an optical illusion, but the tactical combat looks like the ships are in 3-D positions and orientations. The combat happens on a 2-D plane with 3-D ship models, right? But it doesn't look like a 2-D plane. Anyway, it sure looks great.

Ack! It looks like I'll need to replace the .png with the .jpgs! You guys ate up almost 1 Gb of bandwidth!

Ships sometimes use 3d space for collision avoidance etc.

I noted they were PNG's. I wondered why they weren't jpg. I got a glance this morning, but then had to go to work. I assumed someone would tell you to, or perhaps change them themselves.

I actually just changed them to .jpgs - I had kept them as .png to give you guys all the colours you deserved but didn't expect this kind of response.

Wow, thanks Kwok!

No Heros though Thats too bad. Heros gave the universe a feel of.... something. Like it was inhabited by beings, not just ships.

Agreed, sad to see heroes go. The more new things the better, especially when it comes with modding ability.

Looks nice apart from the ground combat,which looks very poor.

Yeah, cool looking screenshots!

Bummer about the no heroes, though...

Noticed the ships in this screenshot all had individual names. Is there a feature to do this automatically (assign a txt file to a specific class) or was the renaming done manually for each ship? Or are the TFS Equinox, TFS Starfox, TFS Pathfinder, TFS Orion, TFS Oberon, TFS Fazer, TFS Celestica, TFS Nomad and TFS Nova all of different classes?
