The thing is, once something's included as an option, everybody and their brother is going to whine about not being able to turn it on. "Ironclad didn't devote enough time to making turrets work on my P3 250MHz machine"...or, "Y dint they cut the fiters and bommers so we cud watch the kewl pew pew?" You know it and I know it. That's the crap they would have had to listen to. Better just to leave it out and let the modders take care of it, as Fraser said.

[size="4"][font="times new roman,times,serif"]I think the one single thing that most detracts from the game's attractiveness is the fact that ships, once positioned, remain stationary when fighting. This so goes against what players expect to see in a space battle that I think the biggest favor you could do yourself, Ironclad, would be to add a little maneuver action. I'm not stupid; I know the ships are stationary now for a reason--most likely a processing limitation or difficulty in programmin

Thanks for the answers, kryo. I'm not able to download the game as it asks me to uninstall the beta version first, but SoaSE didn't show up in Windows XP's uninstall list and deleting it manually didn't work either. I'll just wait for the box, I guess.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but oh well. I pre-ordered this game back at the beginning of Beta 1. Now that it's been released, I assumed my card would be charged and I'd be able to download it. However, that doesn't appear to have happened. Am I missing something, or can I safely purchase a copy through your store without getting double-charged?
