OT-Favorite SE4 Moment!!!

[Suicide Junkie]

The time that my $100,000 dreadnaught went to attack a phong DN, and 9 more decloaked beside it.

A grinding tactical combat ensued, with my expensive defenses slowly being stripped away. At the end, just as I looked to be gaining the upper hand, my supplies ran dry and my shield regenerators collapsed. Just before the Last of my armor vaporized, turn 30 arrived, and two battlecruisers swooped in to save the day.

The time I managed to catch the opposing player, who had better tech and the same number of ships, refitting his entire fleet to even better tech at the same time. Major destruction.

Or, as Cyrien said, "oops, that was me".

The best moment I had was in the Space 1999 scenario. After a very tough, but satisfying fight to dominate the galaxy, I had still not visited Earth. I had never used stellar manipulation before and had spend many turns building a warp point opening ship. I was just about finished with the game when the ship was built, but thought I would try it out. Skipping across the galaxy at such an amazing speed for the first time was great, but to return Earth as the little missing moon base that now ruled the galaxy was even better.

Current Hotseat game, I was able to get one of my human opponets planets to rebel and go independent. Knowing he had fleet in system, I snuck in cloaked mine layers in system, put over 40 mines over the planet, knowing he would demand and get their surrender and giving him a nice surprise, The look on his face when he lost his fleet is unable to be put into words...or when he couldn't figure out which one of us was hitting him with food contamination or getting his AI allies to turn against him....aaaaahhhhhhhhh
hotseat excellent way to play.....

just some ideas mac

Browsing the data directory and discovering how wonderfully configurable SE4 is. [Yeah, I'm a game design geek, attend the GDC every year, etc...] :-)
