Default SEV How\'s it look?

This is a question for the beta testers. I'm NOT looking for any secrets but I am interested in just how you feel about the game. Is it a big improvement over SEIV? Is is just more of the same but prettier? Is it wildly different and can't be compared?

Drop us a line. Inquiring minds want to know.

It's quite recognizable as Space Empires. Yes, it is definitely prettier, and it has some nice improvements but it still plays like Space Empires. There are some very big decisions still outstanding about possible changes so it's currently impossible to say if it's going to be 'better' or 'worse' or 'just different'...

How one feels about a game is probably covered by the NDA. It results directly from the secrets of how the game cuurently is.

That's hilarious! I wonder if anyone is not now a tester because he refused to sign the NDA?

I think there has been lots of information spilled out on SE:V, you just got to know where to find it. More screenshots would be nice, but most areas of the game I think have already been covered so it would be more of the same. I'd like to see some more DEG race wallpapers though.

I'll let you in on a little-known secret I picked up while beta testing Starfury... NDA does not stand for Non-Disclosure Agreement... it stands for Nazi Death Arrangements! If you violate the NDA, Nazis will come and track you down and arrange for your death in a particularly gruesome fashion...
That's the REAL reason I'm not participating the in SE5 beta

In the SE Universe that's Norak Death Arrangement. You already knew that the Norak are 'Deeply Religious' but did you know who their god is? Violate MM's terms and the Norak Ninja Assassins will find you.

BLASPHEMY! You put their names in the wrong order! It's "Dogar and Kazon"! The Ninja Assassins will be visiting you shortly.
