It all seems a bit too abstracted, to me, and just serves as a vehicle to link missions together rather than a whole new level of the game itself.
How about a good old fashioned 3d galaxy to fight a war over?
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, by the way, I've bought every DLC so you have me hooked. And I think it's great that you are changing the campaign styles. I'd just like to see something a bit more involved and larger scale. Even if it was a sister game, (linked a la Field of Glory Empires and Field of Glory II). Whatever you do, keep 'em coming
