I still haven't tried the PBW feature in SE4, and the only network I'm on is with my brother and he would not be interested in playing games.
Now about TCP/IP in SE5, Aaron has not discussed this feature at all with me, so I'm as blind as you when it comes to info on that... That said,..
If SE5 has any part of it as 'Real-Time' play, then it might be a neat feature to have. (Think of Starfury with multiplayer mode) I for one might be convinced to try something like that out. (It would be like the first steps to having a mmorpg in the Space Empires Universe. A very interesting idea.) The only drawback would be that if we could all get togeather Online in the game as opposed to here in the forums, then it might have a deprimental effect on the number of visits I/we make here as opposed to meeting Online in the game.
Anyway, it was an interesting pole, Cheers!
