One day all things will be a Pay to use Subscriber system. Atari will assimulate everything web based, game based, multiplayer based and turn us all into paying customers.

$50.00 for game
$120.00 per year MP access
$40.00 Game book
$40.00 Phone bill for game tech support
$120.00 subscription to game update site

$370.00 for game that you will play for only a year.

Not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for posting on topic

, but could someone please change the turn sequence in the FAQ to the correct one? Retrofit definitely comes before income, for example.

I think it is correct here:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...=009418#000000
... but this is not very convenient as it is not sticky and I have to search for it every time I want to look it up. Also, its not nice to noobs who might rely on the FAQ

Fixed. Thanks. Also added a few things and fixed a couple of mistakes.

'Heads-up'.. the link to the Un-Official Space Empires IV Strategy and Tactics Page.. (
http://home.earthlink.net/~petemmer/ ) in the faq is broken.

Cheers!

I think this:
5.7.10 Fleet experience is earned by an relatively obtuse formula.

should be changed to this:
5.7.10 For each kill made by a ship in a fleet, there is a 25% chance that the fleet gets 0.1% experience

Also current 5.7.4 could be changed to 5.7.4.1 and then added

5.7.4.2 Ships get a small amount of experience for seekers, fighters, drones and satellites, but none for troops and weapon platforms.
