SE:StarFury Screenshots!

I don't think SE:Starfury is in any way connected to SE:V. Starfury is set in the SE universe, but that is where the connection ends. (I could be wrong!) I believe that SE:V will be just that, the next evolution of SE:IV I really don't think Aaron is planning to go the 3D ship-level route for SE:V. He might include a mix of 2D and 3D like displaying the systems and starmap in 3D while keeping the rest in 2D. I for one don't believe that a game 'has' to be one 'or' the other. Some aspects of the game are imho better suited for 2D while others can easilly fit well in 3D.

Starfury is looking great, and I also look forward to seeing SE:V. I'm sure Aaron is full of ideas and has a few tricks up his sleve.

Nuf said, Cheers!

I hope this is not a subscription game. But it looks like it is going to be.

What do you mean by "a subscription game"?

I dont know what subscription game means but I must admit to hoping that SEV would do a few 3d things, like the system and movement being portrayed in 3D, and maybe the ships to?

I still want message delays to be built in, ie it takes time from one of your ships sighting an enemy fleet for that message to get back to your homeworld so that you can issue new orders to a fleet etc but this is just one of my previous ongoing rants!!

You know pay to play. The game itself costs like $20 and you get 1-3 months free. After that it costs so much a month to play. There are several of these games out there right now. Such as EverQuest, Dark Space, Shattered Galaxy, etc. They have a persistent universe. The subscription is to provide funds for maintaining multiplayer servers and updates.

Right now we (the fans) are not even sure if it will have 'multiplayer' so I can only guess... and my guess would be that 'No' this will not be a subscription game, but rather a stand-alone game.

Cheers!

I would have to agree with David on this one. I don't think Aaron would do the pay to play idea. Of course I could be wrong but I just don't see him doing that.

Wonder how hard it would be to set up your own mission... That would be cool for modders to set up some missions for others to play. But I imagine it would be hard to do and hard to put in so that ones could mod that aspect of it.

I'd also have to say that I'm sure that Aaron will make it so you can play a normal game without the missions.
