SEIII had the retreat option and it did not work well - fleets were chasing each other around strategic map to utter boredom and frustration of players. May be it can be made to work better, but IMHO, SEIV system is very good.

Even if you're just mining the accretion disk you'd be orbiting at relativistic speeds.
It'd be weird.

I tried to make a planetary cloaking facility in SE4, but it wouldn't work.
