31. Keeping the Deathstar looking baseship in one piece, and destroying planets.

32. Just to show your might, send a strong fleet with a construction ship into the enemy's core home system, and use the battlefleet to fend off all attacks while the SY ship builds a Star Destroyer base..... never happened to me, but I can imagine.....
33. (personal) Blowing up a star in my Star Trek Mod.....

34. Blowing up the star of my enemy's home system, where he had amassed his invasion fleet of 48 baseships.

Re: 100 Most Satisfying Moments in SEIV
 

35. Placing cloaked star destroyers in every one of your enemies systems, and killing their entire empire in 1 turn.

Re: 100 Most Satisfying Moments in SEIV
 

36. Capturing a planet for the first time, and swaping breathable races.

"What, they evolved as 8 foot tall sapient crystals, on a methane gas giant, they hate everybody, but they don't mind being relocated to a huge methane ice world, to build intel facilities I'll use against the parent empire?"

Seriously, I thought I was cheating the first time I did this.

Just a heads up, that won't work. Stellar manipulation requires 1 movement point left, and bases never have movement.

Re: 100 Most Satisfying Moments in SEIV
 

37. When you finnally finish your stellar manipulation ships for the first time, and slip a star destroying into the enemies homesystem via a created warppoint, then close it on the same turn.

It wasn't exactly my first major fleet battle, but I've had something like that happen. My 18 LC's came through a warp point and found over 50 mixed enemy destroyers and LC's on the other side. Too bad for the other guy that I had already maxed out CS, ECM, armor, and training on all of these ships and had a level 5 shield generator on them (PPB were disabled in this game), while he had none of the specialty armors, no shields, no CS or ECM at all on most of his ships, and no higher than level 2 CS and ECM on his latest stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he didn't have training either. Not only did I take no losses, I took no damage http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif. My enemy in that battle withdrew from the game shortly afterwards, though not before I glassed his homeworld the next turn.

Oooooh painfull.....

38. Having your girlfriend come over to your house and discovering she is your most trusted ally in a major PBW game.
39. Having your girlfriend come over to your house and discovering she is your most hated enemy in a major PBW game.

Oh wait..... 39. is probably not satisfying, but I just thought it would be nice as near-symmetrical partner of 38.

Re: 100 Most Satisfying Moments in SEIV
 

Have actually done this...

Imagine repelling fleets of enemy ships number upwards of three hundred in their fleet with nearly five hundred in your combined fleets, and surviving long enough to build several starbases to act as a forward base of operations.

40. Feeling like a mad scientist/wargamer when you convert the star map into a torus shaped hex grid map by placing six linked warp points in each system.
