No, this isn't about getting wisky into prohibition America, though it does involve lots of illegal activities.
Niels Bauer, makers of the great space stratogy games Smugglers 3 and indeed Smugglers 4 have let us know that Smugglers 5 is looming on the horizon like a large looming loom of doom! (I'm not sure how weaving cloth creates doom, ---- but if looming can be so evil, then looms must at least be vaguely synister).
Anyway, Smugglers 5 is to contain much of the same content as smugglers 4, just greatly expanded. This will include a number of ways to make combat more interesting, and indeed travel hazards such as orbital missile platforms who will try and shoot down enemy ships with cruse missiles.
The profession system is to be majorly overhawled, with each profession now having it's own skill tree and optional background story, indeed in terms of background apparently each of the planets is to have it's own mini story attached to it too.
There is going to be more on the way as well, new technology and new surprises, and best of all, there absolutely will! be a screen reader compatibility mode just as in Smugglers 4.
So hopefully everyone will join me in the following chorus
"war! ha! what is it good for, ---- lots of fun and making a prophit!"
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
