Re: Official SE5 release date announced
One complaint overhead early on was that fighters were too strong...  |

Re: Official SE5 release date announced
Is the problem of accidental ramming (like in Starfury) eliminated in SE V?
Did you or any other betatester ever have a combat with something like 500 ships and 2000 fighters?
Sorry for all these questions, but we are just too curious and impatient.

Re: Official SE5 release date announced
Ships pass over/under each instead of colliding. I've already offered some speculation on performance with large numbers of ships earlier in this thread.

Re: Official SE5 release date announced
Will there be mines in the 3d battle or is it like Space Empires IV?

Re: Official SE5 release date announced
Dunno, but I suppose you could create extremely slow drones which serve the same purpose...

I went back through the whole thread and can't seem to find it. How many ships in a battle were people were seeing before it was unplayable? |

Re: Official SE5 release date announced
I think when you're zoomed out far they might be, but zoomed in it's the actually model for certain. Not entirely sure about the first part though.
