SEV Questions?

Just line it up with the grid paper background, no prob.

Or, email the picture to however is doing the imagemod for SE5, and let them line it up

Or, have a handy program which does it for you.

I have to agree with SJ. It is no difficulty at all pasting the minis into the file in the gridlines. Personally, I'd rather have Aaron spend more time working on the game than on such a program.

Which is not to say that somebody else can't just make one if they wanted to.

Exactly!!!

2 Questions (sorry if covered elsewhere)

1. Weapon arcs (as seen in Starfury) have been removed?

2. Escort, Frigate and Battlecruiser have been removed? What are the hull sizes for the remaining hulls? Please, please, please tell me the larger ships are much larger than in SEIV...

No weapon arcs.

Frigates have not been removed; they are the starting warship hull. You can see a complete listing of hulls here:

Modding ship sizes should be quite easy and as far as I read you can use standard ship pictures and vary their size for new ship classes.
My concern is the ship design: if it works like in starfury, which is what the screenshots indicate, then it could be very time consuming to create the many designs you need in a typical space empires game. And I am not convinced that the directional damage is worth this effort, especially if you cannot control the exact ship movements in strategic combat.

Thanks. Well I guess I really never used the Escort size anyway, even Frigate could disappear, I wouldn't miss it...

But does anyone have info about the hull sizes? I'm REALLY hoping there is more of a spread between sizes...

the sample data files posted on MMs web site seem to suggest that there are weapon arcs.
