When I bought Rebellion, I did not really understand what it was I was getting. After the long learning curve, I finally started to enjoy the game. So much so that I bought a second copy just incase the first one got damaged.

Then over time, utilities came out that would allow you to modify nearly every aspect of the game. Some of them were really neat to play around with.

Then came games like BOTF and Armada. Armada stank. BOTF was fun, but lacked something I can't quite put my finger on. (oh ya, huger than fricking god galaxy size. The game was limited by its size and lack of support from Microprose)

Then, in a year or so came the beta for SEIV. Another addictive game to say the least.

Bottom line is this. I loved Rebellion, it had so much to offer, but was limited to two empires.

SEIV, would benifit from the 3d combat engine, the DO NOT ENGAGE feature, and some other minor improvements based off of Rebellion, but overall, it is a damn fine game with a lot to offer that Rebellion could not.

SE IV can be easily customized. Easily Modded, and is support 10 x better than any game I have ever bought except for Quake II.

To compare Rebellion to SE IV would do both games a grave injustice, and I am not up to that task.
