SE:V Poll

[se5a]

I would prefer to have all the information infront of me with a not so nice graphic. that way I don't have to click 101 buttons just to find what I want.
the current weapons comparison sheet is not nice, there's too much information missing.

The only thing the SEIV screen shows that the default SE5 screen does not is the firing rate. Of course, the SEIV screen doesn't show damage types, chance to hit at all ranges, or what the weapon can target, either. The SE5 screen does, but you have to flip to another screen.

OK I REALLY REALLY HATE this "spreadsheets in space is bad" thing. it's the reason aaron went to bloated UI and graphics crap in the first place! a spreadsheet is used PRECICELY because you can get a lot of information in a small easy to see space.
spreadsheets are GOOD!!!

Well, I also like what lots of people call the "spreadsheet" look in games. I'm a grownup and I want to play computer games about managing (even micro-managing) resources and people. I want to take my time and analyze stuff. I want to pretend I'm running a government and directing the destiny of an entire race. I want to name individual ships.

SE is not a "shoot stuff, blow stuff up" game. It's not a RTS and it's not a FPS.

There will be SE fans who play those types of games (I have and sometimes still do), but for the most part your average FPS/RTS junkie is going to think a game like SE is BORING. The turn-based resource management genre is on the decline, as a trip to any game store will show.

Future incarnations of SE may try to be less like spreadsheets, but they will move away from what many of us consider to be SE--and what many of us find to be so addictive about SE.

Except that Ive already bought the game (but would rather not vote that way). And there is also not one for "I think SEV went the wrong direction completely".

I was wondering if it was too soon to poll the question of whether they should be an SEV forum.

You said it, Brother.....

The game will ultimately be judged by the "good" points vs the "bad" point. If there are more good points, then you could still play the game and enjoy it. If the "bad" points are really bad then even "one" could be annoying and overshadow all the good values. I have many games that play well but have annoying points to them. Still, once you know of them and how to play around them it does detract from the game a little bit, BUT not to the point where the game is unplayable. This is a choice we all make in every game we play. SEIV has many problems with it still, yet they are small problems that don't affect the game play. Some of the posts I've read about SEV state that the game is just not ready.

I still think that this should not be labeled as a Demo, but as a Public Beta.

I'm loving it, but since I'm a veteran SEIV player, its a little easier for me. I'd hate to see someone walk away from the "Demo" thinking that its final, since as we all know, Malfador doesn't ever stop fixing things...
