New Eurogamer preview!!

[Sol Invictus]

Thanks for the info Intrepid Sidekick. So it sounds like Frigates will be used as they were historicly; the eyes and ears of the fleet. I wonder if Frigates have the chance to run a blockade?

We were told Empire would be the "most moddable" instalment in the series when we asked if there would be a toolset shipped with the game, and there would be "more modes of [online] play" than ever before - some inspired by fans, others to attract newcomers.

Anyone else interested in that modding point?

A campaign map editor will do nicely.

I was disheartened by the modding comment. It's closer to a "no" than a "yes" answer for the question.
