SEV DEMO IS OUT!

in SEV, is it just me, or do space yards no longer increase the factory building rate?

So far I'm loving it. My biggest gripe is the Empire/Colony flags over every planet. If you reduce their size to "Small", the flag looks okay but you can't read the ship/base #'s below it or the colony flags either. At medium size they are clear but so big that they tend to block planets/ships behind them.

SJ already has a mod out to deal with that.

By the way, don't stop that from letting you email Aaron to fix the hardcoded "small size" option.

I want to see and play! I went to the Strategy First side and started the download. I just get a white screen with the Microsoft flag waving still; so some thing is processing. It's been like this for 40 minutes now. I thought I'd wait patiently but...c'mon!

Any experienced advice? Should I try another site mentioned before? I just thought that it would be best to use the "official" site of Strategy First.

Just use the torrent.

Strategy first has no bandwidth left, but the torrent will get you awesome rates since there are over 50 seeders now.

I am now annoyed that so many features are missing from this demo.

lol, im still happy with the game, but just annoyed with the limitations.

I was trying to wait a bit before posting thoughts on the demo, but I have to agree about the Empire/Colony flags. I want to be able to see my ships. You should not have to depend on a mod just to get your ship icons to a visible size! This is basic!

I agree, I think it may be better if there was a SEIV style number on the square and you just click for more info.

If there were only a few planets, it is good however in dense solar systems, they just colide with each on big or medium and on small you just cant read it. I wish there was just a total number with icon. I manage shipyard and everything else from production menu and not for the solar system view, it is a very nice feature, but it is not really needed, so I turn it off, again, total number of Ships + bases + units would be enough for me.

giving so many ideas and saying what I am so close to launch, is it a bit pointless? :S

another bug I think...

I have loads of research facilitys on diffrent planets, some building, some planets complete. I upgraded them all... so now some of them are upgrading, then I researched another level before they were finished upgrading so I clicked upgrade again. Now, it looks like I have lost quite a few research facilities on diffrent planets

I wish I was one of the beta testers!

edit - on further look, it doesnt look I have lost any that were built, but the ones that were building have disappeared from the queue to be replaced with one upgrade
