You can still et it online, but the game was buggy as heck, and that took alot of fun out of it! SEIV did alot of things better, but I'm hoping SEV really takes it up a notch, and gets a nice balance of space and ground action.

Anyone notice that there are mountains in the screenshot of Ground Combat? I wonder it Mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc, will have an effect on combat? Will this be modable outside the game? Opens up a lot of possibilites.

I don't think it's for ground combat. As the OP said, it looks more like a facility planning screen. If it were for ground combat, it would be very cool

If you take a good look at the screenshot and the minimap, you'll notice two green points: in my view these are the 2 turrets you seen on the main screen on each side of that big building. I believe these are probably defensive turrets. As the rest of the on the minimap is grey, it seems to me that only the militaristic building are active, thus that it is indeed the Ground Combat screen.

My two cents.

Yes, it's a ground combat screen. See how it has targetting controls like the space combat screen? It was quite a shock to see this after MM had denied that ground combat would be any different from SE IV. But we'll see how it works. These screen shots are not a 'promise', remember. He might decide to yank this and leave us with only the SE IV style 'strategic' ground combat.

Something else in favor of it being a combat screen...if you look closely at the "top bar" of the screenshot, it says:
Code:

Ground Combat Planet Sultran Turn 1 Empires (Amon'krie Flag)


Heh, I gotta stop looking at the screenshots, else I'll have to invest in some plastic keyboard covers to prevent drool-comtamination
