Malfador has produced the best Space strategy game ever (SEIV) and I am sure they could do a great planet base strategy game kinda like Smac or EOFS (Empire of the fading suns). What does this has to do with SEV you might ask yourself.... well I was thinking that it would be really fun to combine such game with SEV into one. And since I still want SEV to be a Space Empire game that SMACalike game should be a seperate game but fully linkable with SEV. It might be a micomanagement hell but I am sure I am not the only one that enjoys that.
Also Malfador has come up with great solutions in SEIV to reduce the micromangement so I guess they could do so as well in this.
