Default Re: Poll: SE IV Platinum or SE V?

Quote:
you know me q i would like to see seiv go gpl with source when sev is released....
The problem with that is that a lot of code from SEIV is bound to be used again in SEV. So, making SEIV be open source would open SEV up to hacking galore...

Also, I would like to point out that MM has explicitly stated that there will never be a SEIV "Platinum" or anything like that.

As to combat system, I still have HUGE reservations about real-time combat in SEV. And 3D graphics - no, thank you. I like ST, SW and Bab5 races custom made for SEIV. I doubt it can be repeated for SEV.
Sure they can. Those ships were made with 3D models already. The ship set artists just have to make them in a slightly different 3D format, and they will work fine.
