SE4 and the Navy

Oh, I'm just saying it's basic human nature that human beings don't get along and they look out for them selves. (Thats just insinct, if you don't look out for yourself only you die) So everyone getting along and looking out for each other would take no humans on earth.
I think I'm going to have to put <sarcasm> tags on all my Messages or just tell everyone that very little of what I say is serious.

You know what amusing about the fact that the world is so fragmented, is that the resistance to becoming a one world government is not only opposed by the governments themselves and the economies that rely on those government's but what is even more hilarious is that is the book of revilations it's self it is said that with the one world government will come armegeddon. So not only are the governments against it but religious fanatics will do anything to stop it!

As a final note the world is way to messed up for us to even hope for any kind of combined effort that will include joining governments.

And thats my 2 cents.

Oh and no I am not a religious fanatic I'm a scholor of all religions as a past time, weird I know but thats me until I get my Version of SE IV.

Trying to move this conversation back into the realm of SEIV... Have you ever rammed a ship? Drake suggested using colony ships to ram the enemy ships instead of running them into the corner to hide. This works great! My huge world with 25 mineral miners was being attacked by a fleet of 3 frigates and 3 destroyers by a former ally. (Really, I was just caught with my pants down. But I'll say it was a former ally so you don't pick on me.)

All I had in orbit were three colony ships and 12 fighters. The three destroyers had Point Defense Cannons. All six of the enemy ships just had Capital Ship Missile I's otherwise. I rammed the three destroyers with my colony ships and then had my fighters target the destroyer that survived ramming. I won! I won! I won!

Ramming is cool!

Well, Darwin
The whole concept of Star Trek is that the earth became one (after a great war and aliens rob the planet blind) and joined other species in a unified gov.
If we can't do this in real life as a planet then we will never be able to get off this rock.

Every 4X game assumes you are the sole leader of a single unified race. In the SE4 universe, we humans have united into a "very liberal democracy" called the Terran Confederation.

SE4 is the only 4X game I can think of that actually allows for non-unified races, with the Renegade attribute. It's also the only game I know of where humans are not the baseline for "Average".

Yup even the demo makes it very clear that humans are not an average race make me feel good not to be the Average race, what an esteem builder

. Has anyone read the Startide Rising books, in them were the only race in recollection that has acceived sentience, were unique, woohoo!
