Seems like Malfador dont want to bother with that anyway
PvK told us that it was already a hot topic during the beta testing of the game. Now I would like to know is the reason Malfador gave. Seems to me a big annoying problem, to the point where I'm wondering if I will not put SE IV aside within some weeks when I will be bored with solo gaming, whereas I wanted initially to PBEM with it.

I don't think PvK's comment was that it was a hot topic. That would imply some sort of heated debate as to whether it was a good idea or not. My recolection is it was pretty much a consensus that it would be a very good thing, although I can't recall anyone stating it would be a game breaker to not have it.

Malfador acknowledged the request and stated at one point he attempted to add something like this. Apparently he ran into some code issues getting it to work right. The level of work involved apparently forced it down the list of priorities. It's not a matter of him not caring that many of us would like it.

I am confident it will be on the board early in Se5 and that should make it a simpiler matter to add rather than having to rewrite exsisting code as he would have to to get it in Se4.
