I'll play it either way, but why not hold off and build it for SEV? I'm not a beta tester but it seems that you'd be able to do bigger and better things with the V.

My solution is to build both mods at once.

SE V, once released, will more or likely require a significant amount of modding time in order to produce a quality mod. And given the fact that many things will change over the course of then next few months following the release of SE V, modding the game so soon after its release might prove to be more of a waste of time early on.

Also modding SE V is not like modding SE IV. While you have far more modding options with SE V, modding SE V requires a significant dedication and pronounced effort.

As to making ship sets for SE V, it can be done with DOGA, but again texturing the models has proven to be a nightmare that I have yet been unable to overcome.

I'd wait for SEV to come out, then choose which one to make the mod for. Right now, all you have is other peoples' opinions.

I get the impression that you want to hardcode the ship designs in this mod... is that accurate?

Yes to some degree I do. The one thing I've noticed about both EAW and REbellion is that the ships all have pre-set amounts for fighters and troops.

Engines and weapons will be added by the player in the design process along with other support components such as mine sweepers, layers, bonus sensors and other items.

Well, first you should consider if such restrictions are truly a good thing...

If you still want to, then you will probably want to use SE5 to allow greater control over such things.

Not to be rude but your pole is asking: I say to get off the Star Wars and Star Trek kick and focus on the SPACE EMPIRES culture. For the other franchises just watch their movies and shows and play their games. Just my opinion and advice. You don't have to take it.

I love uniqueness and originallity.

Considering the reception the SEV demo is getting, I'd say SEIV will be played for quite a while and this mod would be most welcome
