Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen shots?

[Raapys]

There's many game series where the older games are better than the new ones, but I thought the whole idea with SEV was that we'd get basically SEIV with more features and options, not something *new*. I'm with the "don't care about graphics" crowd, but I was sure SEV would be a big improvement on the gameplay and modding front as well, yet there seems to be a notable lack of enthusiasm about it, I'd say.
