System requirements? Raise the high end please...
This is a 2008 game, it should be designed for current day hardware...

Let me first off state that I KNOW the requirements have not been set in stone, but they seem to be lower that what is considered the norm these days...
Thinking about it, since the game is to be released in 2008 , I feel the system requirements should be bumped up a bit to allow having turrets fully functional along with hangers being able to be raised and lowered (TEC Carrier for Example). Swarms of fighters and bombers (30-40 at a time)... Massive fleets and defenses... And such...
As of this year the mainstream PC is becoming DUAL CORE and VISTA compliant. What does this mean, it means Most PCs will have at least 1 GB of RAM (some with 2GB and up to 4GB) and a pretty decent video card (128Mb-256Mb are standard) 320Mb, 512MB, 640Mb ,768Mb and 1GB video cards are on the market or soon will be, along with 2 cores and for the enthusiasts 4 core CPUs!
While no specific requirements have been set yet, it should at least be addressed...
Sure there might be a few people left behind, but PC gaming is EXPENSIVE, and the people who buy a game like SOASE have a average or better PC (Schem not included). Or by 2008 they probably will.
ADDITION: Let me be clear that everyone who can play the game as it is should still be able to once it is released, I just want the most possible eye candy in this game to be an option for those of us who want it.
Just some thoughts... All responses welcome! But keep it civil!
