Why do you want these RP combats to go with simple VS play in SE4?
Because it works better that way.

Ditto and its a slight twist to interaction a little of Space Empires gaming, and good roleplaying, and Grand scale strategic schemeing (like Avalon Hill's Diplomacy)

i just wanted once again to plug in that this is basicly how the roleplay forums work, except that as Geo stated in the past there had been too many issues with them... we're still trying, me and others at my side and the Ladder team on the other side. The thing is, however, that there you are expected to roleplay your empire, at least once in a while. I dont know about the ladder (where, for all i know, it is more system-oriented, and by system i mean the php or whatever system), but at the Legacies thats the point - that your expected to be roleplaying.

Overall the idea is good and might well attract some interest, though i dont know who might go to the lenghts needed to make it done.
