A long list, without listing every item, a lot of the things in "settings.txt" would be a great start. Some of the other data files have some items that would be great too. Being able to save them off as a "preferences" file would be better. I'm not talking about the whole file, just the ones that would make sense to be in-game. I guess "make sense" is subjective, though...

A couple of examples would be how "sight" is handled, default number of systems, etc. Those kinds of things.

I guess one of the big questions is how close is the demo to the finished product?

I know MM is only one guy. But if I was the developer I would be all over the forums wanting to know people's reactions, bugs, ideas etc. Not working thru a few dedicated beta testers. That's just me.

I want to be honest too. I love the game. Despite all of its flaws and problems I absolutlely love it. You know why because I know its just going to get better and better. (See me in one year.)

I'm kind of with Slick on this one. Yes, I know, I'm agreeing with a guy who uses a Han Solo pic as his avatar. So sue me

There's something about the SE5 demo that just doesn't grab me the way SE4 did, even the very first time I saw it.

People are saying "give it time, get past the learning curve". But the fact is, there's nothing that makes me want to. Like Slick said, I want badly to like the game, I'm trying hard to like the game, but it's not happening yet...

Ah I didn't know that thx for the info. Even if he's in a cave at the top of a mountain- as long as he's got an internet connection to keep working on a great game.
