I am sorry, but I don't see this as doom and gloom. And regardless, look at my chosen user name. That should explain everything.

You could argue that releasing the SE4 source code and the subsequent free user compiled versions would hurt sales of any future Space Empires title. So I could see some reluctance on MM's part if it might threaten his financial security.

It might make more sense for MM to open up parts of the SE6 engine to modding as the AI was opened up in SE5.

I'd be happy if he actually listened to the beta testers and the players on issues of UI, and gameplay.
