Curse you Hugh Manatee! Curse you all to Heck!

Why did you have to make me download the demo? You knew that I would then have to have the game. You knew didn't you? And where was the game? Finland! Bloody Finland! So I had to stay up till the wee hours of the morning to call and get the key for the game and I haven't slept since. Curse you (and your little dog too!!)!

P.S. I owe you, you evil scum you.

That's nothing, I live in texas and I payed about twice what the game was worth in shipping to have the CD-rom edition. it came pretty fast, in the end it was about 15-20 bucks US.

I have the store bought cd Version. I love this game and would love SEIV and stars to be merged. I prefer stars! detail at the interstellar range (Radar ranges,eta's, and stealth) and could do without the tactical intrastellar movement in SEIV. Otherwise SEIVs system seems a much better and more detailed. I would be interested in playing, if I can find my Version that is.

Oh and MP games take a REALLY long time to play, and have a bit of work involved in them.

Ok so Tesco Samoa(in april ) , Modulus(if he can find it), and QuarianRex(I think if he doesn't die from sleep deprivation or kill me in a blind rage ) are "possibles", for around april ..... and rangarock could do the demo...

and Yes I wish they would "fuse" the two together, I like the fuel model, and the Resourses, the minerals adds a little realism. But I think they shoulda had a separate "research" resource, like build labs instead of devoting factories to reserch. and maybe set it up so the facilities take up the same slots, so you could build mines instead of factories and, later scrap thaem and put factories in place of the mines.

Just out of curiosity what are your faveorite/most hated Racial traits? I like war monger, Super Stealth, and Interstellar Traveller, and Alernate reality and Jack of all trades are fun to play as. But I hate Space demo., packet physics and Hyper expansion races, I can never play them right. I've ignored Inner strength and claim adjuster all together. For lesser traits I take Improved fuel efficiency and no ramscoops, you have to build more fuel Xports but I like going warp 10 for almost half the research points. And depending on the main trait I might take No Advanced scanners, you know that if you take that if there is a penatraitng scanner in your racial traits you can stilluse it, very good with packet physics, super stealth and jack of all trades. I ALWAYS take improved starbases.

If the Demo is compatible with the full Version, then i'd be up for some Multiplayer action.

I'm still going through the Tutorial (bigger than SEIV's isn't it?) so I haven't decided wether to buy it or not, but considering I shelled out the cash for MOO3, I probably will again

The main StarMap reminds me of the maps in the Honor Harrington novels (anyone else notice this?).

Rabbitoids...Hehehe...
