				Space Empires IV Gold is of course the ultimate space opera turn-based 4X strategy title, having been the recipient of over a dozen industry awards and boasting a perennial legion of global fans. While other games come and go off hard drives, Space Empires IV Gold has stayed, thanks to a combination of addictive and feature rich gameplay and the ease of creating mods. Even years after its release the fanbase continues to give the world new content

 and increase the hard drives at shrapnel games by at least 1 gig a month.  Also in the news we are looking for two system admins to deal with the increase in complelity of running a game forum due to its size :-p

		One new twist provided by the recent patch is the ability to "generate points" that can be added to ships and/or components... if the "points generated" can be research points we can have new "pirate/nomad" races that don't even need planets.... 
 
I just wonder if there is some way to create a race that don't start with a planet (maybe with a station)...

		hey, with all this support now for "Planet Cloaking" can someone tell me where that comes in? Is that in a mod, or have I just been missing it in the stock game all these years? 
 
thanks,

		The press release page has something about a new scenario for Lock and Load in its title bar. Some new form of subliminal advertising?

		hi! 
 
i have a slight problem with the patch... 
it comes up with the message that i have a "wrong Version" of SE4. the message also says it can update Versions 1.60, 1.67 or 1.78. however, my SE4 install says Version 1.84 gold (install plus se4patch 3 from malfador website). 
 
do i really have to reinstall?

		Just install SE4 over your current copy and apply the patch. No need to uninstall or anything.
