Default Re: Poll: SE IV Platinum or SE V?

SEIV has had a good run, but I am ready for SEV. IMO, incremental improvements to SEIV will not be enough to stretch its replay value for several more years. I have enjoyed the mods and new races immensely. However, the base game has been played vigorously for a few years now and the base game is where the new life will be found for SE. More depth and control in fire and movement during combat – especially for simultaneous games? Ability to mod the combat AI? Ability to create scenarios, i.e. pre-position colonies and vehicles? More victory condition variations? Ability to mod scoring? Robust map editor? Rework really annoying things like the supply system and intelligence? I bought SEIV and SEIV Gold and got great value from them both. I doubt I would pay again for SE unless there were some revolutionary, rather than evolutionary, improvements.
