It's been like this since.. well SE3 certainly (first one I played) and it worked back then. But its getting a little old now. At least IMHO.marhawkman wrote:Inner hull doesn't get damaged until the outer hull gets blown away.

:( 3D map renders the strategic game (paper thin though it is) virtually unmanageable. I wouldnt mind, but since all combat etc takes place at stars, the 3d map doesnt add any strategic depth at all. Just out of interest, How do you find it unmanageable? Is it too hard to select planets and fleets,...

I thought the SE games were very well renouned on their modability. Either you made a snaffu or they're ensureing that you can't mod the demo into a more complete game. One important note is that they are very good with patches - see: http://www.malfador.com/se4dwngp.html and you'll note there are 8...

I played Star Wolves (the original) and I think it is an awesome game. It's a mixture between an rpg and rts space combat (with the option to pause at any time). I haven't played the Star Wolves 2 demo yet, but I think the game will be even better, as you will have much more freedom than you had in...

Star Wolves 2 Demo
Star Wolves is a "Tactical Space-based RPG", rather than a 4x, but I'll post it here because its got a lot of character. Screenshots and spiel about SW2. You can get the English demo here Though there are plenty of places that have it so you may be better googling for it to find a closer mirror (the...

Seconded. The basic idea is GREAT! But the implementation falls short. the randomization is more annoying than anything else I suspect this is becaue they don't _seem_ to have that many techs. You've got four types of each weapon, a couple of industrial upgrades, Couple of engine upgrades and 3 lev...

Even once the battle is loaded and your ships have arrived, there is a 10 second or so pause before you can actually do anything. The same thing happens when loading a game, or indeed after every turn in the strategy map. Something very inefficient is going on somewhere. Really? I've had the long l...

1) If you play Liir or Tarka you can do deep space interception of any race that is NOT human. It's possible to intercept with Hivers (I've done it - the target fleet was out of fuel which is how I caught it :) ) and I'd image humans too as they can do sub-light travel. So everyone can do space com...

Having now played it, I must agree that a fully 3d starmap is a royal pain. At least the way these guys have it. Plus their information GUI's are all overly difficult to use IMHO. Want to find a single ship type? At best it's unintuitive (how am I supposed to know that clicking on a field in the pla...

Edison (as found on your list) wasn't a scientist, he was an inventor. Sublte difference. Your Greek Pantheon list is also a little out of whack: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures - you don't have Ares on there for one thing. Personally I'd skip using the Roman Panetheo...
