After playing through about 15 hours of ES I found the space battles a little lacking in my own opinion. The main thing I would like to know is what is happening to these ships when they are destroyed? All ships simply glow bright then vanish. I would find it much more satisfying to see ships break apart once destroyed even if it was only certian factions. I mean it makes sense that a Sophon ship might collapse on itself but the UE's ships look like they should just explode to pieces. I don't know if this is the effect of to many space operas or what. But in the end I just wanted to voice my opinion.

Some better sound effects would be nice too. Either "space is silent" and you should have ambience, your admiral shouting and the sounds of your engines roaring and guns/missiles loading / beams pulsing, and perhaps the occaisional Babylon 5 sound effects, which they did rather better. Of course, this is a SOUND gripe more, I guess.



On the graphics - I do agree, I think it is likely that they dev's just have not finished all the graphics. The camera is also being redone from what I understand.

Yes the sounds a bit meager in some places. And I am very glad to here that the camera angles are being changed. I really did not like missing the action just staring at a ship hull.
