Things that were done right!

- Ship models look fantastic.

- Ship destruction sequences - flying debris, the rippling wave of destruction throughout the ship - are truly cinematic.

- Waves.

- Lighting effects. Sunlight on the water, moonlight on the water. Flames from sinking ships reflecting off the wave tops at night - magic!

- Moonbeams!

- Load times on my machine are a fraction what they were in SHIII.

- New mission types beyond simple patrols.

- Interesting radio traffic.

- I like the little typewriter effect for mission intros.

- Damage - the big ol' holes, broken propeller shafts, etc.

- Linked systems for the damage model

Many great advances over SHIII with SHIV.
