Default Re: What is going on with SE:V?

I have no problem waiting for this game to be finished. If it takes till the fall so be it. But I'd like to know where things are going. I don't think it is to much to ask what features are going to be in the game. Even if something is taken out I would like to know. It just feels like there is a big disconnect.

You know I keep a list of purported features for SE:V at my site, and since I'm a tester, it might even be a little biased...

Your list is extremely interesting Captain Kwok and if most of these features are realized, SE V will be a fantastic game!
IIRC the first version of SE IV had some serious bugs, that made me return to SE III until the first patch was released. IMO it is better to wait longer and get the best game possible. So my choice would be that MM works on the game rather than publishing preliminary infos.

Hopefully he does not do as other (not-to-be named) publishers do - release the game / software in a form that has enough functionality to go to a web site and download the first "patch".

Of course, that would shorten the wait time by months

No, never.

We have always had to get the patch using our browsers.

Give the guy a break. He's one man. He's always gotten it done.

Impressive Kwok. I am excited about SE:V and I hope that Star Wars, Star Trek and Babylon 5 mods are easily convertable.

Maybe the SE:V Star Trek mod will be better than "Birth of the Federation" and SE:V Star Wars mod will be better than "Star Wars: Galaxies At War"

June?

Well, at least school will be over. If it came out during midterms or finals, I would be seriously screwed.
