I think you are getting ahead of yourself by a large margin. I'm sure some of the information from Dom2 can be ported over to Dom3. But the next level of game from Dom2 to Dom3 that would make it feel like a new game (instead of just using the existing style/engine) would take a major Version change. And unless you plan on supporting Illwinter with 4-5 gifts a week I don't see them having enough time to do something that major in a timeframe that doesn't feel very similiar to Stars! (I.E. We're doing it, we're doing it ... we're doing it... 5 years later ... We're doing it).
