Atrocities? Troubles??? *Might*?!

I can see it now; error beeps tip the neighbour over the edge; she goes postal, and knocks down a couple of poor Atro's outer walls. Atrocities will get screwed by the insurance company too, and have to pay for his repairs out of pocket.

I just hope SE5 is not a dumbed down version of the game we know and love.

I rather like having control over most aspects of my empire. What some people call too much micromanagement is what I call fun.

Personally, I don't have high hopes for SE:V. I can't stand the research model, and I don't like the StarFury component placement. I'll give the demo a try, but I doubt I'll buy/play the full game.

The game is being shipped with some of the best anti-pirating software known to exsist. Code named: open source to confuse would be pirates. Should be interesting too see how people who won't buy the game aquire it. Not that any one here would ever do such a dispicable thing.

What's wrong with the research style? You can set the percentages up to simulate SE:III style or SE:IV style if you'd like that better...

Well, if it can be set to do SE4 style research, I'd like that. Although I still don't care for the StarFury style component placement.

I dont really get what all the skeptisism is all about??? From everything that ive seen SEV is what SEIV is but better. They've listened to fans request, SEIII research is back, better ground combat, and IMO better space combat. Really why cant you have your graphics and gameplay too? I cant wait to watch those battles unfold in realtime combat while still having the flexibility to pause and issue commands!!! Imagin a startrek mod with the new engine! That would be something, assuming Atrocities will port his mod to SEV I love SEIV but theres nothing wrong with having a more immersive glaxy to play in!!!

Just my 2 C

That's easy. Just set research to 100% and bam, SE4 style research. If you're one of those weird people () that use "distribute points evenly" just..do just that to all the projects you wish.

The bonus with SE3 style, is that points spill over into the next level of a tech.

For example, if you take your starting 100k points, and put 100% into ship construction which costs 20k, then you get 3 or 4 levels out of that first blast of research (depending on how fast tech costs go up).

Have they said what the production ques will be like? As much as I like SE4 I always thought the prior shipyard system was better, where you have 2 separate queue for ships and planetary stuff and fighers with shipyards repairing the stuff on them once the ships were built. Meant faster fleet production.
