I hyope it will be entirelly 3D, that would very cool. Maybe even forces a breakthrough in turnbases startegy. Maybe the masses will come to like these sort of games. That can be both good and bad.
Good: More publicity, more willingness from publishers to publish these sort of games.
Bad: A too big community, no more cool forums like this one.

I wouldn't mind little rotating animated bitmaps for planets...but that would add a lot more MBs for pics.

In SE:V, I would like to see a 3D galaxy with 2D systems and orbiting planets. It wouldn't have to necessarily be a coordinate system, you could have each planet move one-square around the star per month - that would be an easy way to work it in - since each planet is at a specified "ring" distance anyway (look at systemtypes.txt). I'm thinking it could still be done for SE:IV now!

A little OT. How can I include my own avatar? And how big can it be (pixels)?

It has to be 48 by 48 pixels in size. To change it, go to My profile. Then go to Veiw/Update profile. Then scroll down till you see "Avatar Image" on the left side. Then click the blue link that says "Select a different Avatar Image". you can pick either the ones that are shown. (a few pages of them) or put your own on there. To do that just fill in the URL that you're using to host your image. If you don't have server space just upload to the Shrapnel server and pull from there. That should do it.

Hmmm. Good question. I can't seem to find the upload page either. Maybe someone else here will show you.

Surely hope so, I can't wait to put my first (home made) avatar in my profile.
