GT, "Bald is Beautiful", tho I do have some hair left at my age...

The manual is nicely done, a little more informative then the old one, better explanations in some areas with better descriptions and examples of various screens, gives some points on modding if your so inclined, but doesn't mention anything much on drones or how they are supposed to work other then you can use them to hit ships or planets. Can they also hit a battlestation? Overall I would say its better then the original SE4 one. But, it still lacks some explanation areas, at least in my opinion. Example, It gives a listing on all the mods included on the CD, but, As I am not all that computer litterate, It doesn't give a step by step process as to how to download them and then where to look to find them or how to access them. I know you download them off the cd or from the program, but then where or how do you access them for play. Remember, I'm asking this as one who plays on the computer but doesn't get into the intricacies or workings and yes sometimes, us poor old senile gamers need some of the youngsters to hold our hands and walk us thru. Also once you download the mods, if you pick random ai's does it pick from all the races including those from the mods, or do you have to go and only play each mod seperatly to get the new races? My opinion only remember, I love the modds and can't wait to play them, but I just thought there would be a better table/whatever as to walking me thru to get them... But I am willing to learn and shall ask the modders for help, all in all, better then the old one and I do like the mouse pad...

just some ideas mac
