I just wanted to say hello..I have also became a registered user at the PBW. I would like to say its great to see a game like this recieve acclaim and that flashy graphics do not make a game
I do however have a question, i have downloaded some graphics programs, like doga, but if anyone would be kind enough to tell me or point me to a reference on HOw to create my own empire Sorry for my ignorance i just dont know
THanks guys

You don't need to create your own ships, imagewise, to make your own empire.

EMP files can be created from within the SE4 game; here you select WHICH set of images to use -- from among the sets that come with the game (called "stock" shipsets), or form among those you have downloaded.

The PBW site has a large number of such sets available, and their links section (or a websearch perhaps) should direct you to websites specialising in shipsets (typically called "shipyards" around here ).

Lastly, let me extend an invitation to you to join the Space Empires IRC channel, on gamesnet.net (through your IRC client: east.gamesnet.net, port 6667, channel #se4).

If you haven't an IRC client, I suggest getting mIRC (others may recommend Trillian, but I know mIRC myself). It can be had from www.mirc.com

You can usually find various members of the community there, and if you wish to discuss some element of gameplay or another, we'd probably be all too happy to oblige you.
