Since I haven't seen this mentioned in a while I thought I would provide a little tip to some of the newer player how you can create a shortcut to jump right into your multiplayer games.
(the mod launcher is nice but too many clicks for me
)
Create a batch file (text file with .bat extension) and put the following in it:
C:\Progra~1\SpaceE~3\Se4.exe "gamefile" "p/w" "1" "modname"
The first bit is the path to your se4.exe file
and gamefile = the .gam file included the full path
p/w = your password
1 = your player number
modname = the name of the mod or empty quotes for standard se4
