I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill... I do honestly think the 3d shipset thing is being blown out of proportion by some people. It isn't that big of a change for most shipset authors. It has absolutely nothing to do with "leaning on anyone not completely in favor of SE5"... In fact, if you review more of my recent postings, you will see numerous complaints.

Seriously though, if you want forums that will always be devoted to SE4, you could always use SEnet:

Mountain or molehill, I know what I like, and what I don't.

The "3D shipset thing" isn't what I said at all. No, I don't like the entire 3D format it went to - ships, planets, solar systems, whatever. If I'd personally been interested in that, there are much better 3D environment games I'd have gone with. And some of those "numerous complaints" are just like the ones of mine you just shot down. I was refering to, and seconding, GP's suggestion to create a SEIV section, since obviously SEV has overwhelmingly swamped the forum as it stands now.

And as to a general lean against dissenting points of view - "Seriously though, if you want forums that will always be devoted to SE4, you could always use SEnet:" is a pretty good example. That statement seems to shout "If I don't like the dominating topic here, I can just pack up and go elsewhere". And obviously that's not my point of view alone, as StarShadow's comment proves. I don't beleive the overall tone is deliberately negative, but I do see it as being there just the same.

Honestly, I think overall SEV is a long-awaited treasure for some people, and missed the marked big-time for others. And it is certainly seems to be drawing a very subtle line in the sand...
