I know exactly what you're going through. I went without SE for almost a year and a half anf then suddenly I found myself in possession of Gold. After two months of having 20 games vs. the AI going at once(set quickstart to accept all stock races and then made a game with each and every one of them) plus at least 5 multiplayer games(on PBW, vs. my roommate, over email vs. friends) to now playing only one game and never in stock Version anymore. What I find keeping me interested in SE more than the game itself is two things:
1) MODding! The most wonderful things can be done once you start manipulating data files....
2) RPing! Yes, Roleplaying. Writing short stories about my Empire and immersing myself in the role of my Empire Leader has kept me interested in the Space Empires series since 1996 when I found SE2 at a shareware vednor during a tech trade show.
So just kick back, write some stories, go a bit crazy and think of yourself as "His Most Imperial Majesty" and MOD a bunch of stuff for no reason at all.
At this point in time, His Imperial Majesty Adrik Thorsen has ceased referring to himself in other than the third person and shall go to MOD some more stuff whilst playing the Proportions mod at the same time. His Imperial Majesty now ceases writing this post.
