One problem is a lot of the shipsets out there are derivative and use material that is copyrighted and belongs to someone else. It's one thing to make fair use of this and modify it for yourself and offer it for download free to others, it's quite another to put it on a CD and start charging for it. But an expansion pack with 40 - 50 of the better quality, and more original, shipssets out there would be a fantastic idea.

Please do not forget to vote on the Pole as well.

The great thing is that if Malfador decided to do an expansion pack for sale, it would hopefully be a good boost to the development process for SE V.

About what Se5a said, hey I sypathize. But this is an issue that Shrapnel must address and hopefully over come.

i voted for 'i don't know yet'. it would depend on what's in it, how much it would cost and wether or not it would delay se5 and by how much.

and personally, i don't count things i can download of the internet for free, like shipsets, as content.

Keep in mind that if MM makes an expansion pack for SEIV, it will delay the release of SEV.

May be may be not. Consider that anything used in the expansion pack could in turn be used for SE V.

Only Malfador really would know the answer to this concern.
