I'm sorry Frogboy, but you're exaggerating a little bit here. And probably misunderstanding what I had on my mind as well.

First:

Second:

All I am asking for is:

Get rid of the turrets that are already there and are permanently frozen solid. A garda with guns pointing in all directions and shooting straight ahead from all guns looks CRAP. Also note that there aren't that many ships with things which really resemble turrets pointing somewhere: Garda, Kol (the beams shooting from what looks like antennae are ridiculous!), one tiny gun on Progenitor, Skirmisher. Maybe a few others, but if I had it my way, I would say Garda and the Kol are the top priorities.

Instead, either replace those immobile turrets with mobile ones or, if that is impossible for whatever reasons (e.g. limited developer's budget is a viable reason), remove those turrets completely and replace them with flat nodes that don't have a barrel. There are soooo many ships with weapons that look like tiny saucers glued to the hull, shooting in any direction without any barrel moving. And you know what? They look just fine. 
A generic flat non-barreled weapon looks 11020392942347 times better than an immobile barreled gun shooting sideways. 

only looks 11020392942327 times better, but whose counting.  Looks asstastic to see autocannon rounds flying out of a hole in the side of a ship, but this game doesn't support mesh animation (except via particle) and you just can't make tracking turrets like EVE or homeworld has them.

Homeworld 2 had them in 2003, I guess only Eve-Online has the technology now. 

It's because of the online lag/cpu intensive nature of them.  Eve has a fanatical player base paying big bucks to keep the game going with state-of-the-art servers with good cpu/graphic capability.  They probably sell as many accounts every two or three months as the total number of Sins games that have been sold since release.

Mo' Money.

Eve ditched it's older computer player base about a year back if they didn't have DDR3 or higher graphics cards.

in the past i used impluse to play demigod but on 15 dec 2011 i demigod appeared on steam and i know implsue and steam players games do not worked with each other-steam gamers and impluse gamers could not join each other games.

one thing i know if demigod appears on steam the player base would increased quite dramatically sadly my retail cd key do not work with steam it would be great if stardock would give me a steam cd key for demigod .

email it to me if you would i support your company .

Not true at all.  In the past you used ironclad online to play demigod, not impulse.  You used impulse to UPDATE demigod.  Steam players ALSO use ironclad online to play so therefor, everyone is using ICO no matter if you bought off of steam or impulse.  They can all join the same games.

It probably has, it worked for SoaSE.

Your old key is being handled by gamestop now.

And if wishes were pennies, I'd be a multimillionaire.  Read that as not going to happen.  You want to play on steam?  Good luck with that.  Even if you bought it on steam, you'd still have to play it over ICO and not steam.

Hold your breath waiting for that.  Question, why are you posting this in the Sins Developer Journals forum and not one of the Demigod forums?

Agreed.

Is it just me or does it look... pretty much the same. Just... shiny. Underwhelming.

More screens comparing shader quality would be nice.

Regarding the moving turrets, i do not really care about them much, but i would still be interested in this: obviously they are not going to happen, because of the CPU limitation...but is that really CPU limitation or rather game engine limitation, given its single-thread nature. I mean, if hypothetically the game was multi-threaded and able to use at least 4 threads, if  not all you can throw at it (in my case 12), would it still be a problem?

I am fairly curious about it from the technlogical standpoint, i keep wondering, how the game could look like, if there were not obvious financial and low-spec hardware limitations... when i saw that rebellion teaser, i thought wow, it looks great! but not that much better than ingame graphics of X3 game... now i realize the difference between the genres, but still...could Sins look like X3, if the average hardware today was gtx580 + i7 2500K?

Game engine

That's not a gameplay video, rather a cinematic.

I understood, just wanted to clarify for those unsure that it's not representative of what will be in the game. The engine isn't getting a massive overhaul, so what you get now is going to be representative of what you will see later.

Although that depends on distance to a light source and the material used in the hull, I would tend to agree. My dad one time said that if they wanted to be less visible in Star Trek, that they should turn off the navigation lights and they would be pitch black. Although a good point about lighting in space, I had to remind him that radar and their engines bending the very fabric of space would probably be a dead giveaway.

I enjoy an equal share of techno-babble and character development.

And the Romulans and Klingons can mask themselves, but it also sucks up all their power.
