Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
It was never released because the publisher (iirc Empire Interactive) decided it wanted to switch focus to sports games. |

I think Fyron hit it on the head when he said
Quote:
Strategy-wise, SE5 is actually better than SE4. It has more depth in fleet strategy setup, it has more strategic options in weapon damage types (esp. for clever modders), the strategy is all there, buried underneath.

SE5 is a game for modders, not players... |

...And since I'm not a modder, I guess SE5 is not for me.
Actually I would like to become a modder...but of SE4.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
One tip:
If you make the gameplay more complex by REMOVING things, you know you're on the right track

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
I know that SE5 have more options than SE4, but thanks to the clunky interface it appears to the average player (non-modder), that SE4 have more strategic depth, since it´s easier to handle the SE4 interface, that is very streamlined, than to fight SE5 interface to access options that in SE4 are intuitive...
(i´m making any kind of sense?)

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
Yes, you reinforce the point that SE5 is easier to mod then play... |
