Re: Starting over.
 

It's unfortunate that the quirks of the map lead to an over-sized Vorlon empire with a ton of space to itself.. Those pesky SJ nomadic ships just couldn't eat up any space from colonization to stem the tide. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Starting over.
 

IIRC, that "empty Vorlon space" didn't START OUT so empty...

Re: Starting over.
 

How coincidental. I also decided to start playing SE4 again, I remember these forums well from the earlier days. I also bought SEV and have kind of mixed feelings. I think I'll try it out, especially with Balance and Gritty Econ and see if I can get some of whatever skills I once had back. Nice to see SJ and the rest of you are all still here.

Best part: I still have my cool icon!

And you know the best part? Check out my signature. That was from the first PBC game, and of course the site has changed since. I was some minister? Construction? I don't recall. I had dreams of grandeur and then life happened.

Re: Starting over.
 

We currently have a PBC game (PBC IV) going on at spaceempires.net, which is always looking for new players.

Dumbluck:
There was only one small empire to the north, which decided to act in a rather hostile manner to peaceful Vorlon exploration ships. Naturally, they had to be dealt with... But the space to the south and east, inside that big cut-off loop, was mostly empty. All that was there was some piddly nomad race. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Starting over.
 

Yeah, just one piddly 2nd-place-in-score nomad race http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Starting over. AGAIN
 

This time with a brand-spanking-new computer. Hopefully I can stay around a bit longer this time.

Unless you let some magic smoke out, odds are good that old PC can be fixed right up with a format c: and reinstall http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Having a second PC is great for keeping the main one clean.

Re: Starting over. AGAIN
 

yep. I have an XP disk..... and no auth. code to go with it..... I was hoping that I could turn it into a backup location, or possibly a hardware firewall. (I heard rumors there was a linux out there that would do that, but I haven't investigated....)
