An additional question to Dark Wraith's catalogue:
- Do we have to pay to ride in a Type VIIB, do we have to pay to receive electric eels? Can we buy awesome cool Captain's hats?

As Settlers 7 was relased shortly after SH5, and also required a permanent connection, we can regard SH5 as a test balloon. To test the servers, to see if smaller community swallows the DRM, then extend it to the big series. As they didn't remove it yet for the Settlers, even after 2 years, even made a Settlers online last year (For the non-German gamers: both parts were and are a great success in Germany), I can see how Ubi's suits tick.
Having checked out Settlers Online and quitting after 5 minutes after I felt my brain melt because of "casualisation", nothing good can be expected from SH online...
