For a low budge, 1 guy operation, Malfador has managed to obtain the covitted title of King of 4x. This cheap little low budge game has ousted such heavy weight mosters as MOO3, and Gal Civ. This cheaply made, DOS looking program has been the reigning king of the 4x market now for nearly five years.

Absolutely. And, to be honest, the lack of a decent manual has, in a masochistic way, been part of the draw for me. I remember figuring out remote mining for the first time...it was a rush. And even today I find new things all the time...for a game that simulates exploring the cosmos, I think that's neat...in the same vein I hope that reseach in SE5 is not of the "you know exactly when it's going to finish and exactly what you'll get from it" variety like SE4.
