Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
Hmm, Wildcowboy hasn't been back for 2 days.
This tells us one of three things, either -
A) The upgrade went perfectly, and he's having too much fun to stop and come post here.
or
B) The upgrade was so hosed he gave up in disgust and went back to play World of Warcraft, disdaining to post further here.
or
C)The patch formatted his HD, and he's busy shrieking down the phoneline at Dell tech support, who are asking if he's checked to see that his computer is plugged in  |

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
I've seen plenty of posts to the effect of "SE4 will have much life in it left because it will take a while for SE5 to get a body of custom mods and such built up for it."

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
How about a Community Chaos Mod? Somebody makes an area list (Ships, troops, spying, etc.) and then makes it however they want. No consultation between contributors.
Might be fun to see what results, even if it doesn't get played much.

Here: have some chocolate covered derision  At least its covered in chocolate!
I, for one, assumed that all the beta testers would have abandoned SEIV for the upgraded, new and improved, shiney, minty fresh experience that is SE5! The fact that the beta testers are saying that SEIV will not die soon, makes me very, very scared...
The only real "mod" I play is the balance mod (forget the name). Won't the base game keep me occupied long enough for the (assumed to be essential) balance mod to be created by my fellow gaming geeks?
I just thought that SEV would at least include the depth of SEIV out of the box. Now, I'm beginning to wonder.... |

Buy it at Gamestop and it will - you get a free copy of SE4 when you buy SE5
Besides, Fyron's right - SE4 is a mature game, having 6 years worth of modding and strategic analysis under its belt. SE5 is new, potentially unbalanced, sparse in the mod department, etc. It's like choosing between Windows XP and Vista - do you go with the tried & true, or the "ooh, shiny"?

First and foremost, my comment was intended as playful kidding , but there HAS been quite a bit of commentary, across the various boards, to just bail on SEIV and immediately go with SEV.
I've seen quite a few comments discouraging any further development of new Shipsets or Mods for SEIV, nearly always with "Why not just wait for SEV, and do it then" attached. |

Choosing between WinXP and Vista isn't choosing between "tried&true" and "ooh, shiney!", it's choosing between crap that has been left to dry and crap that's fresh from the pooper
