There ARE some bugs, like the trading one, that are rather important. And it boggles the mind how they got through beta testing. Also, I think I might change my tag line to "Give me back the 2D interface, or give me death." That said, there are no "game breakers." The game is a lot of fun, and it is quite reasonable to expect (based on past history) that it will get better. Aaron has a whole month before the Christmas present-buying rush, and then a month after that before gamers start spending their Christmas cash.

Getting back to Fiveangels's original post: There are now 3 reviews, 2 very positive (but honest about some shortcomings) and 1 very very negative. Really, I think one star is way harsh! Anyway, I think Fiveangels's suggestion is a good one.

This is why I hardly come here anymore. With my old account I was on here pretty much daily but this account is only a year and a few months more old. Atrocities and Fyron between them are being complete dicks to the SE cause.

"dicks"
"complete dicks"

I don't get it? How are we being "complete dicks" to the SE cause?

I'll tell you what, why don't you email Aaron Hall and the guys over at SFI and ask them if they think either Fyron or I are being "complete dicks" to the SE cause. While your waiting on their response I would like to take it one step further and politely ask you what you have contributed to the SE cause in the last six years? I want you to understand that I am not being rude or sarcastic here, I am simply asking a polite question of you.

Lets look at what Fyron has done. At his own expense he not only devleoped SE.net, but pays the hosting cost for it. A site that mind you is the second most popular after these very forums here. Fyron is the author of several highly popular mods and is considered to be one of the pillars of the SE community and is in the SE V Beta.

As for myself, well I have generated over 50 ship sets, been involved in two beta tests for Aarons games, including SE V, and with much help from members here and at SE.net produced a Captain Kwok inspired Star Trek Mod. I again humbly ask you what have you done?

I can tell you one thing that you have done, you have come here with a new identity, without tell us who you used to be, and called two people "complete dicks" with no justification or evidence to back up your insult.

Therefore I submit to you that you don't know what in blue hell your talking about and I find that rather disconcerning given the vicious nature of your comments. I garentee you that no one here will take anything you have to say seriously again if all you do is insult people like Fyron and myself.

So please take a moment and consider what your about to say before you post it. Chances are you will find more people receptive to those who don't go around calling poeple "complete dicks."

And for the record, I am not a dick, I am an upper case dick who loves the SE franchise and will support Aaron and his games long after you have once again forgotten your password to this site.

Let's hope Gamespot doesn't review it yet that's for sure

But I like the 3D interface myself.

Frightlever - You are acting like a real piece of trash. What is up with you people? A game with a couple bugs. you and your cronies come and complain. Fine, point taken. Bugs acknowleged. Patches on the way. Heres a list of work arounds.

But wait! We didn't sympathize enough! Unless people jump on your "lets burn this place down!" band wagon, then people are being "complete dicks"? How the Hell much hand holding do you and your cronies need?

You guys aren't going to be happy until there is a petition against SE5 and the boards close, and all the games are reacalled and Malfador and the developers are out of business because your game crashes and some features aren't available yet. And then, just as AT said, you'll move on and harass someone elses game.

And you call SOMEONE ELSE a dick? Wow. You say that someone who 1. makes shipsets 2. has been here contributing for years 3. Is a non-paid volunteer beta tester, HE is a dick?

I have to agree that SEV is majorly bugged etc. However, i dont think AC and Fyron are dicks They have contributed a lot to the community, from awesome mods (STM, Adamant) to a msot competent website, over a wiki onto hundreds of posts helping both newbies and veterans alike.
Remember that.

Speaking as a former admin of communities, and one that was a dick to people in the end, AC and Fyron have given a lot of this community and a lot of big contributions and they were not as bad to people as I used to be. (Fyron is blunt, but if you balance it with a side of Kwok and a helping of AC, it's nothing )

I don't think the comments directed to them were at all warranted.
