Oh My God !!!

It opens so many moding avenues... Pirates & Nomads need a rework ASAP

Star Trek Mod 2.0 is really going to benifit from this latest patch when it is released. Or at least I hope it will beneifit from it.

You know he does listen to the fans - this are great changes - but i guess forget SE5 or at least continue updating SE4 until the Version of SE5 comes out - they will still keep getting the revenues from purchases so updates will keep fans interested - perhaps a small charge for each major update is another source of revenues say $3-$5 for Version 2 and Version 2.1 etc. ANd minor patch fixes in between.

I hope to never see a day when you have to pay for patches.

What im talking about is $3-$5 for major patches but the offset would be to lower the games price - this would act as motivation for MM to continue to upgrade the game and support it for longer and they get continous revenues + you only need to buy every 2nd or 3rd patch. Perhaps $25 for the game and $3 for each upgrade - makes the game cheaper for newbies - thats the offset im talking about - but its just discussion thats all.

MM has already supported the game for over 3 years! It is time to move on to SE5. You simply can not do nearly as much improvement with just upgrades, you have to rebuild the game engine. This requires the next game in the series.

Free patches or bust!

Oh My God ,Q1oes this mean that you can have orbital bases that can generate research/Intell points,in space ??.Q2:But only if a modder implements this in there mod,like dennullven/D-mod/Star trek modes??.

Research intel projects in space - well it would add portability to an empires resource / research / production and intel generating capacity.

Would open up new possibilities for the game. Might even lead to a few new tech areas being expanded and more racial traits into the game.

Wow, these are nice additions to the game! Intel- and research- generating ships... yeah!
