Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Is it just an optical illusion, but the tactical combat looks like the ships are in 3-D positions and orientations. The combat happens on a 2-D plane with 3-D ship models, right? But it doesn't look like a 2-D plane. Anyway, it sure looks great.  |

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Ack! It looks like I'll need to replace the .png with the .jpgs! You guys ate up almost 1 Gb of bandwidth! 
Ships sometimes use 3d space for collision avoidance etc. |

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
I noted they were PNG's. I wondered why they weren't jpg. I got a glance this morning, but then had to go to work. I assumed someone would tell you to, or perhaps change them themselves.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
I actually just changed them to .jpgs - I had kept them as .png to give you guys all the colours you deserved but didn't expect this kind of response. |

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Wow, thanks Kwok!
No Heros though  Thats too bad. Heros gave the universe a feel of.... something. Like it was inhabited by beings, not just ships. |

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Agreed, sad to see heroes go. The more new things the better, especially when it comes with modding ability.

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Hey, who says we can't mod heroes back in? Since abilities can have custom-defined scopes (if I'm reading the feature list correctly), perhaps we can have a Hero troop unit which gives special abilities to the ship or planet it is stationed on?

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
Is it just me or is the ship design screen changed? Previous screenshots showed the ship layout with StarFury type slot layout patterns. These shots show an SEIII-style ship component layout.
Not sure which I prefer...

Re: SE:V Screenshots at the SE Depot
I've already mentioned in the other thread about SE:V that the screenshot shows a SE:IV style summary view of the ship, but the slot view is the normal design and damage view.
