Re: Lousy galaxy generation/player placement

Hey, Ubik http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif

What you're asying is very true, but a large start like that makes for a very different game experience from a single-planet...

Re: Updated Systemnames file

Re: SE4 and the Navy

Ramming is one thing that has REALLY changed since the earlier Versions of the game. It used to be truly devastating.

Re: Shiels or Armor: Which is best against mines?

It's not just mines. The damage you sometimes take from moving through funky warp points is not stopped by shields, either.

WHAT have I done?

Help, my game is acting weird all at once.

My ships have always moved smoothly, on the strategic map, and now they are suddenly stopping in each hex along the way, which I find intensely annoying....

Re: The harm that software pirates do

Well, I'm not criticizing MM for choosing not to do that, but I just looked at My CD, and the game itself is only 40 megs. Most of us d/l larger demos on a weekly basis. So it's not a case of the...

Cool stuff! Once, long long ago, in an America far far away, there was a boardgame by a company called SPI, and the name of this game was Starforce Alpha Centauri. One of the many beauties of this...

Re: Shipyard Mod Idea

That is an INTERESTING idea!

I like the idea of raiding, it's something I do a lot myself.

One of my goals for very early mid-game is to send a couple expeditions on slave raids, to capture...

Re: SE4 and the Navy

Spyder,

If he was a leatherneck, he wouldn't have said anything. He would've just had his company gunny kick our asses.

Re: Rebelious Planets

Well, this applies to v119, but I have seen first-hand that when the total number of empires gets low, the game tries very hard to generate new ones.

I was playing two different empires in a...

Re: The harm that software pirates do

Ubik, ROFL!

But back to SE4.

I'm curious, how did you hear about it initially? I honestly can't remember how I first stumbled on it.

Is SE4 available in Languages other than English? I...
