Re: Easy money for Shrapnel and Malfador.

A TV series/movie based on a video game, huh? Um. Oh dear. As a science fiction writer, I dare say it won't work to good effect. Video game plots are pretty thin to begin with, but SE4 doesn't...

Re: Mods vs. Shipsets

Re: SEIV is being Pirated

&lt;shudder&gt; Did I hear someone say "Windows XP"?

Indeed, there's no reason for it. Piracy is one thing; using your own copy of software on more than one computer is another. And for that reason I...

Best tech chart I ever saw came with Civilization: Call to Power. It was poster-size, and had all sorts of interconnecting lines. Very nice.
