Good to see you still around. Stop by the channel sometime; Xintis still remembers you :)

[Xrati]

[Arkcon]

I keep the bookmark handy, and lurk at what people are saying. There seem to be a few SE4,4.5, 5 projects going on.

Hi Atro!

[Suicide Junkie]

What's that. Do you all still do IRC?Of course!
Its the global local hangout for the SE gang.

We've got lots of big names; Wombat, Darkant, Ekolis, Fyron, Dumbluck, Parabolize, Ishii, and Se5a are all on at the moment, along with a bunch of others (and me of course).

Asolutely true :-) (I think...)

[Kamog]

Hi everyone. I'm still around and I check this forum from time to time. :)

[Black_Knyght]

Still kicking, and still endeavoring to share my benevolent dictatorship with the universe!

Drop me a line, amigo.

[Puke]

still alive. dont really read the board much anymore, but i pop in to IRC every once in a blue moon.

I've been seeing some neat things on the 4x front that have gotten me excited again. The secret project from Shrapnel, the new one from Matrix, and this crazy web site has introduced me to lots of things i'd never heard of:

good to see all the old crew again!

[TerranC]

I guess I'm here too. I've been gone for a (long) while but I see this se4.5 thing going on and now I'm a bit excited. Maybe I'll even fire up DoGA again.

[Black_Knyght]

Still alive and kicking!


And yes, the assassins have failed again....:evil:

[Xrati]

Don't you just hate it when that happen? :D

[Fyron]

And yes, the assassins have failed again....:evil:
That's just what they want you to think.

[Xrati]

Just say NO to thinking...:p

[TurinTurambar]

Yes, please do! ;)

I'm still around now and then, when work allows. Still workin on that SEIV Risk™ thing too.

[Annette]

As Mac would say, there's a girlie lurking here! Happy to see you all here.

[Black_Knyght]

Greetings and salutations, Ms Annette

[Xrati]

Hail, Hail, the gangs all here!!! :D

[reverend]

I'm still here. Not that I ever did much more than lurk. :P

Mostly I've gone back to SE4 though...

[Makinus]

I too am back do SE4.... bought SE5, was dismayed by the long turn processing times.... bought SINS, play once in a while..... but SE4 just left my HD to my flash drive so i can play it anywhere a computer is handy...

The matrix game mentioned is that Distant Worlds thingy? I saw some screens and it does not inspired me to buy... anyone tried it around here?

[reverend]

The processing times are one thing. It doesn't even run that well on a relatively powerful machine. And SE4 has a ton more shipsets to choose from, plus shipsets are easier to make.

I also like the feel of SE4 better - we often play hotseat games and tactical battles are a big part of that. IMO SE6 could even keep the 3D combat engine, but go back to turn based instead of realtime...

[PvK]

I exist, but had some major real life reorganization. Haven't been on this forum in a long time.

[inigma]

I'm still around. lurking. working on SEV strats. I mainly hang out with the BM crew for SEV nowadays. SEV was such a momentum killer for the SE community with its general design issues. BalanceMod is the only thing truly saving SEV. I miss SEIV. I just love the space combat in SEV. The only thing keeping me from SEIV is the fact that no future updates are planned to bugfix issues to allow some important changes by mods. Would be nice if Aaron considered turning SEIV into an open source project among the long time mod developers of the game so we can bugfix alongside with him.

[Tollak]

hello all!

[gregebowman]

I'm still around too, just checking things out.

[zen.]

I'm not around, but I am checking things out. :) Was looking at some of the stuff from Infinity Universe and for some reason, felt compelled to drop by and look around to see what SE's done in the past few years.

Either that or it was the Steam sale I saw this past weekend that included SE games in the packages. :)

Hope everyone's still doing well. I'm shocked that Shrapnel is still hosting this forum...good on them!

[Combat Wombat]

Still around still and playing SE4 PBW games :) not quite as hardcore about it as I used to be though
