Personally, I think the biggest problem with the game is the people. Too many think that finishing the campaign is the enjoyment.

I think just playing the game at whatever stage you happen to be in is the enjoyment. The reward is in knowing that you can work the problem with the given tools. You don't have to have radar to have fun. Just have fun.

Another thing I think is the problem with the people is that they think they must have their old interface. The only thing that's needed is a good interface. The stock interface is lacking in regard. For instance, how do you set standard propulsion from the stock interface? You could do it in SH3 and SH4 by clicking on the battery charge icon. But there is no equivelant in SH5 without a mod.

So we need a simple but effective interface that allows us to get to the things we need. We don't need fancy, just simple and effective.

But too many people think they must have the kitchen sink and every gadget to be happy.

I guess my point is, "more doesn't bring happiness."
