THE best strategy game of all times! :D

Coldsteel, I didn't say or implied you lie. I agree in full what you wrote. I too am looking forward to Stars! Supernova, in fact I preordered it way back through Chips & Bits. Like you said, it's only good IF there are real competitors to games like SE IV. However, let's agree to this, THERE IS NONE

PERHAPS THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE <Worf facing another critical fight>

nmoppa, I didn't think you were attacking me or saying/implying anything like that.

What I meant is, I just have to be honest with everyone here about the fact that I don't think SE4 is perfect and that I think other games may come along later in the future that are better in some respects. Nothing is forever. Right now SE4 is the king of the heap. Best ever. But there's plenty of room for improvements and Aaron will have to work to keep it there. That's all I meant.

[nmoppa]

I fully agree, Coldsteel.

You should ditch *both* of those for Delphi. IMHO, Delphi is the best RAD (Rapid Application and Development) language out there. It has great support for databases, the internet, etc. Oh, and by the way, what do you think SEIV was written in?

COBOL is also really good at producing formatted reports. I kinda enjoyed writing COBOL programs. Oh, the memories.. takes me back...(sigh).

A 'C/C++' programmer like me goes into convulsions when he hears someone say they *enjoy?!?* writing programs in COBOL.

Help! I'm having a seizure!! Someone, quick! Bring me an obfuscated C program to look at! Better if you put the entire program on just one line!

Programming Axioms:
1. Every program can be reduced by one line.
2. Every program has at least one bug.

Corollary:
Every program can be reduced to one line that doesn't work!

Of course, there are those of us who have to go back and maintain those obfuscated programs (he says, sitting at work on a Saturday, taking a break from fighting with 5-10 year old LISP code that was written by people who thought that all variables should be global in scope ) and we WILL find you eventually!
