I have not played stars in about 2 years. I played it heavy way back 93-97.
I mostly played in the (trying to remember the name of the games.) ... I think it was called the nexus campaigns. They ran about 2 years.
I really enjoyed the game. Your series. I never played. Just used to go and read about the games every once in awhile.
U should enjoy this group of people.
SEIV will Last for a while. It has a good base of core people.
So when you get bored of the game you just play it to keep intouch with people.
As a stars player the only problem is that there is not enough micro mangement
U will see.
Modding is quite easy. AI is tricky. And the balance factor is tricky.
SO I would just design your mod for pbem and pbw games. It is just a suggestion.
And post any questions here. They will get answered.
Nice talking to you. I was known as Tesco in the stars days.
