Yes, for a new one to SEIV the AI is tough to beat. But once you get expierience enough at it the AI won't be much of a challenge unless you have TDM with high bonus and high difficulty. Once you get that setting down to where you don't lose. You move onto multiplayer via PBW.

Well, you can take things to another level without saying bye-bye to single player and/or firing up the mods. If you've been playing your combat scenarios using hands-on tactical mode, try strategic mode.

I haven't gone there (yet) myself. But based off of the postings I see regarding strategic combat -- what with all of the subtleties of setting your strategies, formations, ship mix, etc. -- it sounds like it opens up a whole new dimension of challenge. It's probably a little more in line with what MOO3 had in mind: you give your fleet vague orders, and hope like hell that they do their job right.
