Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen shots?

I'm very happy to see that the component placement slots in the ship design do not have locations that depend on the shape of the top-down ship graphic.

Thank you Beta Testers for sorting out that one!

I think that this needs clarification, Kwok said that its the ship summery? So does that mean the actual design is still like starfury? Or is it back to SEIV style??

Clarification would help but as it stands it is just the summary and the ship design is top view ship graphic "blueprints". I rather like this top view ship design. I don't think it is limited in any way compared to SE4 style.

Yay Kwok! THanks for the screenies, they had me drooling.

Look at all those lovely tabs in the combat strategies screen (seperate offensive/defensive formations, different formations for warp point transit.... drool)

I was wondering if there has been a change in SE5 in regards to exiting/closing the various windows? As it stands in SE4 we must close\close\cancel\close...etc. Keeping it like this for SE5 would be OK as long as there was a main close button. Or maybe like the internet where as we can "close" or just go "back"\back\back...and even have the little drop down list for going back.

Thank you very much Kwok for these informative screen shoots and thank you Malfador for allowing Kwok to post them!
The top down system screen shows overlapping with other windows that obscure parts of the system. I hope that this can be avoided, otherwise it would be very inconvient IMO.
All the rest seems very promising!

[Atrocities]

they do at that.

The screenshots were done at 1024x768, which is the minimum resolution and they were zoomed in a bit.

There is directional damage so the slot design is the "official one" and is displayed most of the time - the screenshot I took is just the simple summary.

"There is directional damage..."

Cool!

Hello Kwok. How about the closing windows issue that I mentioned above?

[Captain Kwok]

There's only a couple levels of windows.

But officially I think I've already spilled more beans than an inebriated bean counter!
