I don't remember where i read it, but a while back...somewhere between se4 but before gold, i saw a thread on a forum where fans were dreaming about the future of space empires. one of the best ideas was for an open ended rpg where you command a vessel in the SE universe. you could do anything from free trade to enlisting with an empire to pirating. I thought that would be great. now it looks like its coming. I think it could open up the community to new gamers who have avoided the genius that is Se because they dont like the game style. Ill admit, i hate turn based strategy for the most part, but then i found this and love it. I'm also hoping it is as mod friendly as the other games to keep things fresh and exciting. I for one cant wait to order this one.
