Who many people still play SE3? or SE2? (Not many, can bet).
Think if SEV is a better game than SEIV, then, believe SEIV will die slowly.
About a RT 3D combat or something like that for SEV, really don't care about it.
Probably would help to Aaron to get more customers, but don't think would help me to like more the game... just because will be not usefull to me in MP games.
What I really expect from SEV, are better modding options for the AI (request some kind of computer language to create scripts to manage the AI behavior is too much?? Stars Supernova supposed to have it

).
