Re: Space Empires V post-mortem
The thing the bugs me the most about SE5 is the system view. In SE4 I could clearly see where all of my ships were at a glance. Now I have to rotate and zoom/unzoom to find them all.
SE5 with SE4's graphics would have been a great game.

BINGO !!! That, in a nutshell, is exactly what I'd hoped for in SE5!  |

Yes that was my hopes also. The upgrade of formats was bound to cause a loss in the modding community. But I was hoping it would eventually catch up.

Re: Space Empires V post-mortem
The one thing that above all else that turned me off to playing SE V is that it failed to inspire me.
