No, Fyron, with all due respect, he's not stretching at all.
There are just some of us who really find the changes in SEV stupid and annoying. I respect and admire Aaron greatly (even if SE? is basically a ripoff of the old Starfire boardgame), but he ignored two basics in SEV.
1. The first law of updates & sequels - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
2. The KISS principle - "Keep it simple, stupid."
I am still playing SEIV, and having a hell of a good time with it. My current game at PBW with capnq, et al* is a blast, and we're rocking along at almost a turn a day. Moreover, it's an almost-stock game, using only TDM Modpack
