Re: With SEIVG coming out soon, Does any one still play SEIV?
I've been playing SEIV for a couple of months (addictive game!). Ran across it looking for a good play by email game I could do with my brother and friends (my brother does shift work so real time is not an option). I got him one of the Last copies of SEIV for xmas and we have started playing. What I would like to know is that if we want to start up a game with some friends before SEIV Gold is out, are we out of luck (as you can't order new copies of SEIV)? Also, will there be a utility to upgrade an inprogress game from SEIV to SEIV-Gold?

"The Gold release date is too far away for me to wait for. I'm probably going to install Gold on a different computer, and keep playing both."
Why the different computer? Current SE4 plays nicely with more than one install (I have two at the moment), I can't imagine Gold working any differently.

SE4 savegames are upgradeable to SE4G. It might be necessary to process a turn as the host but it is definitely possible, I have done it myself during BETA.

Because the computer I have SE IV installed on currently has only 40M left free on the HD, and there's nothing left that I'm ready to delete yet to make room. That might change by the time Gold is released, though.

Mate, I saw it but believe me, you are about 50,000 leagues ahead of where I am - I have just worked out that point defence cannon are good against fighters and am looking forward to getting so far as to have battlecruiser designs
subverters? what the bleeding hell are those - the worst I have come across (other than fighters) are shard cannon and temporal thingummywhatsits

Allegiance Subverters are a high-level racial weapon for Psychic races. They can make the target ship change sides.
