Well, maybe with someone to give me ideas and prod me on, I could at least get a 4X project off the ground... any you want to suggest off the top of your head?

I don't think such a project would be a serious threat Malfador's income. It would take years and years to come up with anything approaching the complexity and sheer gosh-darn-goodness of SEIV, and by then we'd all have bought SEV anyway.

True, but what about SEVI, SEVII, and of course the all-important SEX? All kidding aside, I'm just afraid we'd end up stealing too many of Malfador's good ideas and become a complete ripoff of SE4... But hey, Aaron's perfectly free to add anything we might add to our game into any future Space Empires games, right? We might even donate some code just because we like SE so much!
