Re: What Will Happen To SEIV
Certainly, unless portable, there will be a LOT of shipsets and mods that would go to waste...that would be a shame  .

Re: What Will Happen To SEIV
It all depends on the Game. If it is a quantum leap like SE4 was, then I think there will be a big player turn over again. SE4 guys will, for one reason or another, wonder off. But a new generation of SE5 peeps will show up. If the game is more of a natural transition, then the SE4 gang will stay around and there will still be a bunch of newbs.
When I look around, I don’t see many of the old SE3 people, most have moved on. Some because of RL and some because they didn’t like SE4. The one thing that I hope for is a well tested release. When I first started playing SE4, the game locked up a lot. That really made me dislike it. It was very different from what I was used to, and it crashed. A Lot! I would be willing to wait however long it takes to get a good playable Version of SE5.

Re: What Will Happen To SEIV
A SEIV to SEV mod converter should be fairly straightforward for someone to program. The data files probably won't change a whole lot, other than new lines added to various entries.
Aaron has stated that 2d ship images will likely be useable in SEV, though they will look funky next to 3d rendered models...

Re: What Will Happen To SEIV
What a wonderfully rich community you guys have here. I truly wish I'd been a part of it longer, I just got SEIV yesterday. The prospect of everyone moving on in a year or so is a bit of a bummer, but such is progress.

You would be surprised at how many we have sucked into the Dominions 2 forum (right next door) 
But I think it will be a Looong time before the SEIV forum dies off.

Re: What Will Happen To SEIV
I can believe it. I began as a Dominions 2 freak, then migrated this way.
