I case I gave the wrong impression- saying your opinion is fine. I'm just trying to keep the screaming and fanboyism (on both sides..) from rearching SE3 vs SE4 levels.

I remember this. And it got pretty bad. Half the community for SEIII was up in arms, saying they wouldn't touch SEIV unless they had X, Y, Z. Hell, when I was a beta tester way back when, I thought I was still going to spend more time playing SEIII than SEIV. I can say this much from experience: the instability is largely from feature-creep, because fans of this game always want MORE features; and, the game will get better. I think it is very playable as a demo right now, but that's only from two one-hour game sessions over the weekend so far. And you will get used to the interface if you keep playing it, and a lot of things that are annoyances now will seem to disappear (e.g. I thought ship design was going to be a complete pain with dragging every. single. component. one. at. a. time. After playing with it a bit, and learning the shift-click trick, I find it to be similar designing speed to SEIV. Until SJ makes Carrier Battles for SEV, and you need to add a bajillion armor components.)
Anyway, there are really two options for SEV: you take it released with some flaws, or you wait for your perfect game, and keep on requesting more and more from it, and the game is never released.
