Very good interview. Thanks Nyx and Aaron.
One thing that bothered me a little was that I got the feeling that Aaron wants to move the game into th real time camp at least as far as combat is concerned. I don't like that because every so called real time strategy game I ever player always made me feel rushed and stressed out trying to everything needed to be done. An impusle move system would be better imo.

Quote from the interview with Aaron I think the paradigm of the Online turn-based games will have to change somehow. The problem most have is that you play a turn a day, and then wait. However, most players want direct feedback in their games. I think more turn-based games will need the feel of an action game where you can immediately pick it up and play against others Online.
Personally, I like to play sim turn pbem games with one turn/day. Gives time to plot my moves and engage in diplomacy and write a game story if I so desire. I hope he won't remove that possibility in future Versions in the SE series. Playing others Online is also fun, but I don't want that to be the only way to play.
Overall a good interview with good questions and answers. Only one tiny little question I would have liked to see though:
Will the game ever see a currency and advanced trade with trade routes and goods? Buying and selling of ships/tech/planets/whatever on the "open market"?
But we can't have everything, now can we?
