Re: SEV Betatest...
The new website is nice, but on my 1680x1050 widescreen display, the top graphic ("Malfador Machinations") wraps around.

Re: SEV Betatest...
i like how the 3d asteroids in the system screen reflect the light from the sun on one side, and not on the other. actual lighting. nice.
I also like the link to Shrapnel Games on the main page. It may just be because there are unsold copies of SE4, SF, and DO, but I like to think its because the relationship is still amaciable and everyone is friends.
Who thinks Strategy First will be releasing news about SE5 on Monday, now that the new web page is online?

Re: SEV Betatest...
No offense too the site maker, but I dont like it
Especially with it being in html frames (which is a big no-no in the webdesign world these days)
You should of at least made the site in php using php includes for the things that appear on each page, which is extremely easy to do as you could still use html coding

Re: SEV Betatest...
Dead,
snazzy is the word you want
The graphics are quite good looking, in my opinion. If you look close at the ship to ship combat one, you can see some nice particle effects...
I wonder if the game will have AA and AF... (if not, just enable them with the driver util...)

Re: SEV Betatest...
Actually Deadzone, research has changed back to an SEIII system. You can assign percentages of your research points to any number of projects you want. It's not an all-points-in-one-project or divided-evenly-so-you-waste-points system like SEIV. If it's like SEIII, the research points will wrap-around in a way, so any excess points you spend getting a certain level will go towards the next level in that field of research.

All of it is inf levels if I am not mistaken. This research tree truly never ends.
Edit: But keep in mind the further you go the less you will get each level.
