To use a phrase that is somewhat out-of-place in this *ahem* mature forum...

SE-IV has gameplay up the ying-yang, my friend. Enjoy!

I've had the game for over 6 months now. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the original (*) game, and have yet to scratch the surface.

After I played my first game, I tweaked my race's abilities, and tried again...
Then I tried playing them again with a different attack approach (drones-a-go-go )...
Now, I'm trying a new game with Temporal abilities...
Then I can try, say, Religious...
Then Organic...
Then Psychic...
Crystalline? Sure, why the heck not...
Them maybe I'll try a mix of the advanced traits...
Them maybe I'll try a game using strategic combat only... you know, spend many frustrating/fulfilling hours understanding the behavior of the various ship & fleet strategies...
Then maybe I'll try a simultaneous game instead of turn-based...
Then maybe I'll try the Proportions mod; maybe get lost in that...
Then maybe I'll try Pirates and Nomads; maybe get lost in that...

Then... maybe I'll actually play other humans

It's a race. Let's see if I can burn out on SE-IV before SE-V is released. In this case, I'd say the smart money was on Aaron.

*: Half-true... I'm using the TDM modpack so that I can have more interesting (and varied) opponents...
