Would you change the graphics?

I disagree - other than slight improvements to graphics where for example its difficult often to actually see the ships in the map view. I would tend to concentrate on gameplay improvements (see my other wishlist post).

This is becuase the designers can only spend a certain amount fo time per game and if you go down the 3D route youll lose all the special things that this game has over any other - variation and loads to do and ability to play in any way. Introducing fancy graphics would be a really bad idea to me.

Take a look at Imperium Galactica 2 for example. Its a terribly stale game becuase the time spent on graphics should have been spent on the gameplay and adding a dynamic campaign. Its far too linear. I would hate to see this game go down that route. Mind you teh graphics of the battle viewer could do with improvement. But its not important to me.

If the choice MM has to make is between gameplay and graphics I hope they choose gameplay.
The discount bins are overflowing with great looking software passing themselves off as games.

I've been playing Star Wars Rebellion for the Last few days. The gameplay is nowhere near as in-depth as SE4's, but it holds my attention because I feel like I'm in the SW universe and actually doing something.

Hmm, I never finished a game of Star Wars Rebellion because it got so dull and frustrating. My characters were routinely failing missions, the computer was outproducing me like crazy, every time I managed to sieze a planet, the computer would grab one or more somewhere else. I found SWR was more interesting as an encyclopedia of SW trivia than as a game.

Improving the eye candy in SE4 would be nice, but IMO it takes a distant second to gameplay.
