I didn't get into the beta. Didn't try - Not enough time.

We all know the Beta Testers are only in it so they can learn all the sneaky tactics first so when PBW SEV comes around they can quickly crush all opposition and claim status of Galactic Overlords

Of course then they turn on themselves, giving us mere non-beta testers/mortals a chance...

I would have LOVED to be a Beta tester. Did it for Starsiege, had a blast. Had more fun in beta than in the final, because of some unfortunate design decisions...

But most of all, I just want to play SEv, even if its not done yet...

You would have to look for yourself. www.malfador.com and SFI. There are a few game previews out too.

Default Re: SEV How\'s it look?

Could someone link us to game previews? I've seen the "blurb" on Gamespot, malfador and the publishers site, but I can't find any real information.

For that matter, what features will SEV really have?

I've read about Heros, (ala MOO2 ship captains) are they in or out?

What ship sizes are there? Is it the same very clustered sizing where a Battle Cruiser is only a little bigger than a cruiser or are the sizes much different?

What about weapons, are they still pretty much the same or have things found slightly better balance?

What about fighters, are they in? out? Usable?

Other than the graphics, what game play differences are there between SEIV and SEV? Is it just SEIV with nicer graphics?

How many ships can an AMD 3000 with a 128mb Geforce 4 card deal with in SEV at once? Do large battles bog down or is it beautiful and smooth?

What is the projected release date?

I've done all kinds of searches and I'm coming up with no real answers here. Are there some websites Im missing?

Well, keeping in mind that one must respect both the letter and the spirit of the NDA, I ain't answering nothing. The SE5 NDA looks a heckuva lot like the one I got for SE4, and Aaron was quite clear back then that we weren't to discuss anything without running it past him first. Although I just took the easy route and cackled madly whenever asked about it. So in that vein, Bwahahahahaha!
Incidentally, I forgot my SE5 beta CD at home so I've been SE-less for the better part of three weeks now. For those of you considering giving up SE, I'd recommend strongly against it. The withdrawl is just unpleasent. And I mean unpleasent in the same sense that one would say, the sun is a bit hot.
