Back in the day when I only had the SE4 demo to mess around with, my buddy and I fired up a game to test it out. I started just south of the left nipple of nowhere in a one warp-point system. I spread out slowly, consolidating my planets, and established a couple of colony worlds in my neighboring system, a system that contained only two warps, one to me and one to the Eee homeworld. Before I knew it those peace-loving soap bubbles whent jihad on my noobie arse, shattered my colonies, and were penetrating my home system seeking to reclaim their "ancestral hunting grounds" (A.K.A. my homeworld). I was just rebuilding my defenses and fortifying my warp-point when the computer crashed. We had forgotten to save the game.

To this day I still think that I could have dug out of that hole (or at least Lasted long enough to for my friend to get down from the other side of the galaxy and provide reinforcements). I came out of that game with a deep love of SE4 and a seething distrust of the treacherous Eee.

God I love this game.

Edit: spelling, grammar, things I should have learned in grade school...

does this improve on the rp ???? You still do not know who is your next door neighbour but you do know who lives in the neighbourhood
I don't like it. It doesn't make sense that your newly space-faring race can make contact with other empires across the galaxy. People should be creative enough to RP within their empire and actual neighbours until they are capable of meeting more distant races.
