Will There Be One More Patch?

[Fyron]

SEV will be to SEIV as SEIV is to SEIII.

i'm not trying to raise or lower expectations, i'm just saying se3 is good, se4 is good, se4g is good and therefore, se5 will be good.

SE V is the only gane that I would pre-order a year or two in adavance.

A lot of people have said that for MOO III too...

Let's face it, we, prefering games like that, are an absolute minority. And we must be very thankful if Aaron doesn't try to turn to the bigger money of colorful real-time clickfeasts.

That doesn't help the ones like me who never played SEIII. I have faith (I don't like using the word assume) that Aaron will produce a much superior product for SEV. But I can't make the comparison you're using, Fyron. I'll just have to wait and see how much better it is, even if it is 2 years away.

You can't please all of the people all of the time either

Well why the hell not?

I've noticed a lot of pessimism with some people concerning the future outcome of SE5.I figured I'd put my 2 cents in....CHILL OUT!,you've liked everything so far right?You enjoy playing the game?You're going to continue to enjoy playing the game?THEN ENJOY THE RIDE!.Nothing wrong with speculating how SE5 will turn out,but till then,enjoy what you have and have fun,that's what SE is all about

Are there any official details on SE:V anywhere?

Good thing Aaron has assured us on many occasions that SEV will be in no way a real-time clickfest.

IMHO, it's very hard to compare the desaster that was/is MOO3 to SE:V. Why? Well, MOO3 was developed by a TOTALLY new dev team that as far as I know did not work on the original MOO2 (Or the MOO Original) What's worse is that I'm convinced that many of the MOO3 Dev team never played MOO2. (this is really evident in the total lack of continuity between the two games)

Aaron is the primary designer/programmer for all the SE games, and he is working on SE:V with the full knowledge of it's history, and no doubt has his own ideas as to where he wants to take this series. But unlike MOST game dev companies Aaron also listens to the end-user and goes above and beyond reasonable lengths to please his fans. (aka customers)

Stop worrying about IF SE:V will be good and start feeling the excitement of what will the next game in the Space Empires Universe. The future will come fast enough, trust that Aaron will make SE:V the best that he possibly can, and know that he has heard many of your heart felt wishes for SE. And finally, trust that the beta testers will help to improve the game even more, because as it has been in the past, Aaron will most assuradly select his beta testers from amoung you the fans. And if the fans don't know what they want then I don't know who does.

Sorry was I ranting again? I digress, sometimes when I see SE and MOO3 refered to in the same thread it realy grinds on my nerves.

Nuf Said, Cheers!
