no good sites huh? oh well guess I'll have to find a better game that has better support..... come on there have to be some good sites!

Well, www.spaceempires.org is going to be a great site once content gets added by Hadrian. He's always working on some far flung project.

There's http://universalshipyards.tripod.com, has lots of shipsets and is currently in a redesign stage too.

Look for Atrocities on the board and click on his link, his site has lots of shipsets too. Andres Lescano has a site too.

Unfortunately, many of the other ones are outdated and unloved, but hopefully that will change soon with the release of gold.

Better support? I don't think that's possible.

Here are some sites:

I have been working on a site that is related to strategy and tactics. fourth revision, not happy with the look. I must say that it is a huge undertaking, considering the many different ways of playing this game. I've been playing to long to see the forrest fo the trees. the way I figure to have this site make any kind of use would be at least a dozen catagories, plus many sub-catagories below this. basically a full time job. I gave up after reaching 64 plus pages to organize (let alone content).

Mudshark:
Hey, you want any help making the site? I mean the coding aspect, not the strategy part.

IF gets my recomendation

Also, is the site able to be viewed yet? Would love to post a link to it when it's up!

I suspect the slow response was mainly due to two things:

1) Gold hasn't been out long enough for people to set up sites specifically for it; AFAIK all the sites recommended so far were supporting SE IV before Gold was even announced.

2) The people who run the best sites are too modest to plug them themselves.

A good site for managing multiplayer games is
http://seiv.pbw.cc

PBW is already set up for Gold, and in the process of setting up support for Gold mods.

I have uploaded the draft that I worked on today at work, it is in the New Scenario/Mod Forum
under tools/help. I managed to cut it down to roughly 35 pages. Not much content yet, but it is a work in progress. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Much of the content was "greaned" off of this forum. still need to make it more of a question and answer style. I did start a yahoo group just for Space Empires stratigies and tactics. this may be a starting point for adding new content.

Now I am insulted! Not one of you mentioned New Age Ship Yards (NASY) Oh this just goes to show how knew many of you really are.
