Default Re: What Do You Like Most About SE V?

I just started playing so have kind of a virgin view of this game. I like the depth of the tech tree and the numerous political options. Rome total war was my favorite strategy game but it didnt have the depth this game offers.

Artwork in general is really good. To me the GUI isnt all that bad now that Im kind of used to it. Great options in ship and weapons, almost unlimited. Love the ability to minimize the game to the task bar may not seem like much but I never had this before and really like that.

This is the first space strategy game I've tried that I actually really like and am having a great time playing and trying to learn the game. So what I like most is that im having a great time and playing gives my mind a break from the stress of the 4x game called real life.

The construction quo got much better. points spilling over and multiple ships getting done in 1 turn is brilliant.

I also kinda like the UI, you can comand the whole empire from the top row of buttons with the specifically selected object in a out of the way but not inconvinient place(lower right side), theres a button for most everything your ships can do, and I like how they expand(cargo button gives you lots of cargo choices, maintinence button, further orders ect) so as not to clutter the display with eldom used stuff. Also if that doesn't work I got the right click menu and the hotkeys, so no matter what I have about 3 different ways to order stuff around.

I like the new fog of war and sensors, makes the game interesting, more tactical, and makes starbases and satelites even more useful.

The new AI scripts seem more owerful, I just wish I knew how to program.....

The tech tree is a bit better now, feels more like actual research, but I kinda want it to be interlaced(IE I need more then 1 tech to get somesof the beter stuff, like in Stars!, missiles needed propulsion and weapon tech)
