I suppose one of my best SE4 moments would be an epic star trek pbw game I played against UserX and Atrocities.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I wasn't in that game, but it sounds like the kind of thing that might have happened in the galactic bash (had it Lasted long enough for me to meet 'tigga).

My best moment was in a single player game, when I was play-testing the first vanilla Viking AI for Rollo. This must be back around v1.49 or even earlier, and in those days it was just about unheard of for an AI to capture a world with troops.

The vikings grabbed about 3 systems of mine- all planets intact- and forced me to turtle back to my core systems using stellar manip. I realised then that Rollo's AI (attached to MY graphics=-)would be one of the best in the community- probably THE best, and for a long while it was.

That was a great moment.

Seeing my name in the manual for SE4 Gold was a good moment too.

My greatest moment is yet to come though, it's scheduled for autumn 2008, and it is the public release of the final chapter of O&C. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

heh, probibly for me was the time I took over a tiny religios race and attempted to stop everyone killing me.
once I had convinced the kilrah to stop fighting (gifted him half my plannets) I had 1 whole system that I could call my own.
then the stupid drug addicted colour freeks decided that it was theres....
that would not have been so bad as they were fairly behind tech wise. unfortulay my politiking broke down as there was no way I was gona give up my Last system, and then there was war between my ally and the kilrah and I was stuck in the middle.
ahh well that was fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: All Time favorite SE moment
 

Any time i manage to outwit an AI - or when they are attacking me from all directions and i leave him a few suprises (mines, sats, fighter squadrants hiding in a storm - opaque to scanners (in 4 x 200 Groups) and he brings his main invasion and attack fleet through and i spring forward and he has missiles only and he gets completley routed - then within 3 game years i have 60% of his empire.

When i get cloaking and send raiding ships, 1 attack ship, 1 repair ship, 1 boarding ship and 1 space yard ship in a grouping with 1 carrier with 100 fighters and raid behind his emeny lines (colony ships, pop transports and troop transports and 100% shut down his offensive moves)

Oh when you send a cloaking ship deep behind enemy lines into his main system of power with a destroy sun and blow his system up. Usually causes a withdrawl and easy victory.


Although i have modded my games now so troops are easier and cheaper for him to research (AI) and they stick more to invasion instead of glassing - makes the game more interesting.


Oh Last but not least winning a 255 system game against 3 Hard AIs with maxed out racial traits - they can be long and tough and lat about 1 month.

During a sweet game, trade treaties went up to about 50%. I was in Last place but because of all the resources I was getting (about 1 million a turn) I could build a space yard and multiple space stations on nearly every planet. I got into a war when I wanted to spice up my turns and another race was taken planets in my space. We both built massive fleets (I had at least 2 fleets with 300 Battleships) and because of the warppoints everywhere and the preponderance of nebulas the game turned into a totally strategic war. Research was even. Resources were even. We both had huge fleets. Every turn I logged in wondering which direction he took and which fleet of mine could ambush him. The totally strategic game made a difference from the usual micro-management task.

As Intimidator posted. This, and
my first Proportions game is my most memorable and I lost that game to the PvK Hive.
