I started my first real game about 2 hours after getting my disk. I did my file modification, 255 systems, added vehical types, emperor names, and the such first.
I then started the game. Odd how I still remember my first *** whoopin so clearly.
The AI hammered me. I soon learned the value of Mines and Satellites.
Weapon Platforms and Point Defense Cannons.
I have been playing SEIV since August 2000, and can honestly say that I am still learning how to play.
The game is awsome, and has a very high replay ability.
As I said, my first full game was with the full Version of the game. I played the Xiati. They are my favorite SEIV race.
About two weeks after I received my copy, I hooked up with a friend from another site and he introduced me to Warp Nines site, and star trek races. He help me to develop my first set, the Federation. Soon afterward, I started work on the Dominion set. One thing led to another and I converted BOTF images for use with SEIV, and from there, well, just visit my site.
I hope that answers your question??????
