I, too, think MoO3 has some great ideas - mostly the same ones deccan has pointed out - but it just wasn't put together very well. Perhaps it can be improved, but probably not to the point where it would be as much fun as SE4 on PBW. My major reason for abandoning the game is lack of time. In the hour that I have everyday to play, I want to play the best games I can find. These days it's SE4 (on PBW) and Hearts of Iron (solo).
Cpt. Kwok, I am looking forward to SE5 and Star Fury. If SE5 is going to be a good empire building game like SE4, with a fun real-time combat component (using the Star Fury system, or something similar), I'm all for it!
