Yeah, SE5 is considered to be a long way off. SE4 is sooooo different from SE3 that I felt it was OK to spout any impossible dream, and have it taken with a grain of salt. Many people seemed to throw game balance out the window as well and just post how they felt.
The supply point has been beaten to death, and it's clear that the total game rewrite needed would need much work: design, coding, playtesting, balanceing.
But if you read the thread, you'll see that people come up with a simpler way to mimic phyical vs energy supplies -- a counter for each weapon counting the number of times it's fired.
So keep posting the wild ideas ... the 5 star guys often come up with some good balanced solutions. See, for example, Suicide Junkie's pirate mod.
