BTW. Zetler, as soon as you got your Gold Version and played it for couple of days and downloaded some mods, I know for sure that you will come back to this thread and make some apologies..........

The fact that you cannot get it on Ebay should tell something about the worth of the game... everybody keeps his copy.

The sh*t has hit the fan...

Ah come on guys, you scared him away...now he thinks we're all a bunch of fanatical fans, bristling with hostility at any sign of a possible insult to SE4.

*Wait a minute...we ARE all fanatical fans. Oops, my bad*

Ebay = 0 copies of SEIV for sale. LOL I have to see this for my self.

I found one for you.... Quick go bid on it.

LINK and it is in your price range too.

Er...that eBay auction is listed at 15 GBP which is 27 bucks US, NOT including the oversea shipping

At that price I rather buy it from the developer or Chips and Bits. I'm usually not this cheap but hey, times are tough

I'm not trying to insult anyone but I find it hard to pay $40 for a game that looks so ancient. I guess I'll be waiting for the next Version then...unless there are mods out there to improve the game's sound and graphics.

Zetler, believe me...... Buy the game, and get addicted in 3 hours.

Tons of 'FREE' Mods, Shipsets, maps and above all plenty off players who are willing to play on PBW with you (the players are also for free)

Think of it this way... for 40 bucks, you get what, 10? 20? quite different games (in the form of mods). Mods like Pirates and Nomads (play a pirate or nomadic race), Proportions (slows gameplay down to a more psuedo-realistic pace, makes it take lots of time to get colonies developed, stresses homeworld), Star Trek Mod, Babylon 5 Mod, Star Wars Mod, Devnull (has nasty space monsters that will always give a challenge), Adamant (play as a magic wielding race, a race that evolves organic ships, or a normal "physical" race), Starfire, Highliner, Starfleets, and so on. Each mod offers unique gameplay, giving SE4 a lot more replayability than 99+ percent of games on the market, even if you only play a few mods.

If you want different sounds, check out Tampa Gamers Sound Mod, which can be found on SpaceEmpires.net. If you want different shipsets, there are 270+ of them out there to pick from. Check out the SE4 Race Directory. There are a few alternate game interface "mods" out there, such as TNZ Interface Mod and Eclipse Interface Mod. There are tons of custom component, facility, planet, star, etc. images as well in the Image Mod. There are lots of custom graphics available. Using them is really easy. Modding is really easy, as all the data is stored in simple, easy to edit text files.

I think you'd make a good salesman Fyron

I already played the demo four times. I'll try to hold out two more weeks for a deal but if not my addiction will force me to buy this game at full price LOL

Not sure what the heck 4X games are but I'm loving this one. Makes me wonder how popular it could become if developer have access to a few artist to help the game reach it's full potential.
