bumps? Where'd they go......

i'm still here... lurking.......

but seriously: a good start game would be a 6-player game in a small universe with the demo Version, with every player selecting one of the pre-generated races....

I suggest that you (Hugh manate) try to get the name & e-mail of the players that want to play with the demo and ask them to sendo their race files (that will be one of the pre-generated races of the demo with only modifications in the name and simbols), then generate a game.....

Put me in your list, my e-mail is stevaoaccadrolli@brturbo.com

When you have at least more 4 players (that with you and me will be 6), send a mail to each one requesting their race files, so we can start....

Ah, and instead of downloading the demo Version available in the official site, download instead the shareware Version 26b available at this site:

http://library.southern.edu/stars/kn2050.htm

It's an earlier Version without the 80 turn limit of the demo Version available in the official site, but it have all the other limitations (no custom races, only 10 tech levels, only small maps, etc.).

You know, I have the full Version of Stars, bought it a couple of years ago but never really got into the game that much. The tutorial was excellent, but my mind just could not grasp the basics. I would get to tired to keep learning. Tis a major problem I have now a days. Damn disabling deases!

I should dedicate some time to playing it again. It is one of the most revered games out.

Say, is SEIII a good game? Been thinking about buying it too.

Atrocities, yes SE3 is very good, it's like the evolutionary link between SEII ans SEIV. and if your at all interested, I'll take you to school in Stars! if you want

,what is your Version, I got the I Version, as I experienced compatibility problems with Version J,, I worked just fine anyway.

BTW, if you get SE3, get that disc combo that has SE3 SE2 and SE1 on it, it also has a ****load of extras and mods. You can't call yourself a Hardcore SE nut if you don't.

I have Version 270i

I would really like to learn it, but I am far to lazy at this time. The game looks very interesting. I might do the tutorials again just to play it, but can you fill in some questions.

1. Oh indepth is the game?
2. On a huge galaxy, how huge is huge?
3. Average normal game length?
4. Easy to learn, or complicated?
5. Do I have the current Version?
