buy se iv gold or not?

[minipol]

Hi,

i have had the seIV game since it came out. I use a lot of star trek mods because the built in races look to ahem, "weird" for me to take them "seriously". They don't create a believable athmosphere. Anyway, i saw that the gold edition has a utility of some kind to select mods and this looks like one good reason for me to buy the gold edition.
I'm not wild about the TCP/IP support since i don't play Online. Is the gold edition worth my while?

Also, will we ever see a Version 5? I hope so. 2 of my most favorite games started of by 1/2 developer(s) (other one i like is American Civil War at http://adanaccommandstudies.com/, free download and a new Version in the works. interface needs work)

Thanks
